Elm House Suite

The suite sits on the 19th floor and opens onto a private outdoor terrace with Central Park views, with the city skyline around it. Most guests choose it for the terrace, which gives you open air and a park outlook from your own suite.

The suite has one king bed and sleeps up to three guests. The bedroom is separate from the living area, so a couple has real privacy. A small family or a third guest has the living space to share. Children of all ages are welcome at the hotel, though guests aged 13 and older may be charged as adults depending on the rate.

The Elm House Suite measures 894 sq. ft. It has a separate living room, dining area and kitchen area as well as the bedroom, so it feels more like a city apartment than a standard hotel room. That layout suits longer stays. It is also a good choice if you want to eat in, work or relax without being in the bedroom.

The private bathroom has a rainfall showerhead as well as a hand-held, height-adjustable showerhead. A portable shower seat and a grab bar beside the toilet are provided, and the suite has a visual fire alarm. You will also find bathrobes, slippers, designer toiletries, a hair dryer, and a toothbrush and toothpaste.

Expect a 55-inch LCD TV with premium channels and streaming including Netflix and Hulu, complimentary Wi-Fi, and a coffee/tea maker with an espresso machine. There is also a minibar and a refrigerator, air conditioning and blackout drapes. The bedding is hypo-allergenic, and the suite gets turndown service. Towels and sheets are changed every three days.

Breakfast is generally not included in standard rates, though some packages add a breakfast credit. Jams, Chef Jonathan Waxman's restaurant on the ground floor, serves breakfast, lunch, dinner and weekend brunch. Its bar is on the lobby floor. In-room dining runs daily from 7am to 9:30pm, so you can also eat on your terrace or in the suite's dining area.

1 Hotel Central Park has no swimming pool and no on-site spa. In their place, in-room wellness treatments can be arranged for an additional fee. The Field House fitness center on the 2nd floor is open 24 hours a day. It has Peloton bikes, rowers, treadmills, ellipticals, kettlebells and free weights, and guests can join complimentary group fitness and yoga classes.

The hotel is at 1414 Avenue of the Americas on the corner of 58th Street, and Central Park is about a 2-minute walk away. MoMA is about 6 minutes on foot and Carnegie Hall about 5. The 57th Street subway stop is roughly a 1-minute walk. The hotel also offers car service within a 15-block radius, with complimentary rides included in some packages. Valet parking is $110 a night for standard vehicles.

Check-in begins at 4:00 PM and check-out is before noon. Guests must be 18 or older and show a photo ID and the credit card used for the booking. The hotel is pet-friendly with no pet fee, up to a combined 40 lbs per room. The Elm House Suite also works as a small event space, seating 8 guests for dinner or up to 25 at a reception. Larger or private events can be arranged through the hotel's sales team.
