Curator’s statement
In October of 2025, I did a site inspection of the newly renovated Peninsula New York in New York, New York. With newly renovated rooms, serene wellness spaces and an unbeatable Fifth Avenue location, the Peninsula New York is the perfect blend of classic elegance and modern luxury. The attentive staff and thoughtfully designed spaces make every stay a refined, yet inviting escape. I highly recommend this hotel to my clients.

The Peninsula New York recently underwent a significant renovation. Every guest room now features a blend of classic luxury with modern amenities, including smart technology, refined furnishings and upscale finishes. The sophisticated color palette and custom-designed furniture create a more luxurious atmosphere while revitalizing the hotel's classic charm. Many of the rooms feature spectacular city views, including 5th Avenue and Central Park.
The hotel's wellness facilities were also renovated, including updates to the spa, pool and fitness center, providing guests with a top-tier experience. The glass-enclosed heated pool with city views is perfect for unwinding after a long day of sight-seeing. The award-winning Peninsula Spa includes 10 treatment rooms. There are also private relaxation lounges, a tea lounge, changing rooms, an aromatherapy steam room, a sauna, an experience shower and an ice fountain. The gym is well-equipped with brand new, modern machines and space for group classes. Private classes and personal training is also available.
The hotel also features an on-site restaurant, Clement. Its seasonally-inspired menu offers upscale American cuisine in an elegant setting. Guests can also enjoy cocktails and light bites at Pen Top rooftop bar with indoor and outdoor seating. The rooftop bar offers stunning views of 5th Avenue. From November through March, private, heated igloos transform Pen Top into a Winter Wonderland.
With its prime 5th Avenue location, the hotel provides easy access to Central Park, the Museum of Modern Art and luxury shopping. Every space has been meticulously curated to offer an environment where art, comfort and technology converge to enhance the guest experience.
