Best for travelers who prioritize sustainable design, a relaxed but polished restaurant program, and immediate Central Park access.

Best for guests seeking traditional Fifth Avenue prestige, formal service (including butler service), and a landmark Midtown address.
When 1 Hotel Central Park wins: choose 1 Hotel if you want a contemporary, eco-forward interior, direct Central Park proximity, and a more casual dining and wellness setup (24-hour gym, in-room treatments) rather than formal hotel ritual.
When The St. Regis New York wins: choose The St. Regis for a historic Fifth Avenue experience, formal service levels (butler service available in many room types), and a traditional luxury hotel environment near Rockefeller Center and MoMA.
Bottom line: both serve upper-end Midtown travelers, but they offer different styles—1 Hotel Central Park for modern, sustainable comfort steps from the park; The St. Regis New York for old‑world, service-forward Fifth Avenue luxury.
