Hotel Description
General Description
Location. Located amid Fifth Avenue's high-end shops in New York, N.Y., The Peninsula New York is a 1905 Beaux Arts landmark positioned two blocks from the Museum of Modern Art. The Broadway Theater District begins three blocks from the hotel.
Hotel Features. A glittering chandelier presides over the lobby's sweeping double staircase. An adjacent seating area features richly woven silk wall treatments while a second area reveals trompe d'oeil sky-painted ceilings. Fives restaurant showcases fine Mediterranean-inspired cuisine and "Naturally Peninsula" light and healthy fare. The intimate Bar at Fives overlooks the street scene, specializes in traditional and creative martinis, and hosts piano entertainment. The Salon de Ning bar affords spectacular top-floor city views from indoors or from the furnished terrace. The library-themed Gotham Lounge serves afternoon tea, cocktails and light fare. Wireless Internet access is complimentary throughout the hotel. An in-house fitness center features cardiovascular and strength-training equipment. Personal training sessions may be scheduled with 48-hour notice. Hair care and beauty services are available at the Mélange Salon. Professional massage therapy may be requested in the guestrooms.

Guestrooms. This 25-story property offers 239 guestrooms and suites decorated in contemporary style with Art Nouveau accents. Beds include pillowtop mattresses, 450-thread count Fili d'Oro linens, and goose-down pillows and duvets. Bedside control panels regulate air conditioning, lighting, an entertainment system, and "do not disturb" displays. Marble bathrooms feature televisions mounted over the bathtub. Rooms contain minibars and honor bars. Complimentary in-room safes are laptop compatible.

Expert Tip. The hotel's Silver Spoon program offers concierge-customized "Tucker Out the Toddler" care for children ages two to six, and iconic New York tours and activities for children ages seven to 14. Activities include VIP passes to local attractions and backstage access to Broadway shows. All children who participate in the program receive a complimentary Tiffany & Co. silver spoon engraved with the child's initials.
