Park Terrace Room

The Park Terrace Room is a park-view room. The hotel sits on Sixth Avenue at 58th Street, one block from the southern entrance of Central Park, about a two-minute walk. Blackout drapes let you wake to the daylight or keep the room dark.

The room has 1 king bed and sleeps up to 2 guests. That makes it a natural fit for a couple or a solo traveller who wants space. The bed has hypo-allergenic bedding, and the sheets are changed every three days.

The private bathroom has a rainfall showerhead, designer toiletries, bathrobes, slippers and a hair dryer. It is also set up with accessibility features: a grab bar near the toilet, a hand-held and height-adjustable showerhead, and a portable shower seat. The room also has a visual fire alarm.

You get a 55-inch LCD TV with premium channels, Netflix and Hulu. There is a coffee/tea maker and an espresso maker, plus a minibar and a refrigerator. Wi-Fi is complimentary throughout the hotel, and turndown service is included. Air conditioning is climate-controlled.

Jams is the all-day restaurant on the ground floor, from James Beard Award-winning chef Jonathan Waxman. It serves seasonal contemporary American cuisine with a California influence, and it has a bar on the lobby floor. In-room dining runs daily from 7am to 9:30pm. Breakfast is not part of standard room rates, though some packages include a breakfast credit.

There is no pool or on-site spa. Instead, The Field House on the 2nd floor overlooks 58th Street and is open 24 hours. It has Peloton bikes, rowers, kettlebells and treadmills, and offers complimentary group fitness and yoga classes for guests. In-room spa and wellness treatments can be arranged for an additional fee.

The location is very walkable. The nearest subway stop, 57th Street, is about a one-minute walk. Carnegie Hall is roughly five minutes on foot, MoMA about six, Rockefeller Center about ten and Times Square about fifteen. Some packages include complimentary Tesla rides within a 15-block radius, and limo or town car service is available for a surcharge.

Check-in begins at 4:00 PM and check-out is before noon. The minimum check-in age is 18. Bring a photo ID and the credit card used for the booking, with the cardholder name matching the guest name. The hotel is smoke-free.

Dogs are welcome with no extra pet fee, up to a combined 40 lbs per room. Pet-free rooms are not offered, and the hotel does not provide dog-walking, though the concierge can recommend local providers. Valet parking is $110 a night for standard vehicles, with a 20% discount for electric vehicles, and an EV charging station is on site.
