PB hotel design editorial

Directly across from Central Park's southern edge, on West 56th Street where Midtown's commercial density gives way to the park's tree line, a 34-floor glass tower houses Thompson Central Park New York with an address that makes its design brief almost write itself: the views are the architecture. Rockwell Group handled the interiors, translating that advantage into rooms where floor-to-ceiling windows frame the park's canopy like a living canvas, the autumnal foliage visible in the images reducing every other decorative gesture to supporting cast. The 587 rooms are furnished in a palette of charcoal, warm oak, and brass — open black-steel shelving units double as room dividers and dressing tables, wall-mounted globe sconces in brushed brass providing the kind of considered residential lighting that most midtown hotels abandon in favour of overhead grids. The lobby and bar spaces make the stronger design argument. A double-height atrium lounge deploys indoor olive trees, navy velvet banquettes, and copper-toned pendant lights in a composition that carries more the atmosphere of a well-appointed private club than a hotel public room — a grand piano anchoring the far end signals intent clearly. The ground-floor bar takes a different register entirely: a long, darkened corridor of black millwork and green leather stools beneath a ceiling dense with trailing botanicals, the greenery overhead creating a compression and intimacy that the park-view rooms, for all their expansiveness, deliberately withhold.

Thompson Central Park New York, by Hyatt Reviews

"Hyatt Central Park is a beautiful hotel and is very accommodating to frequent Hyatt customers. Both times I have stayed here I have benefitted from room upgrades and lounge access. The upper stories lounge provides a very nice breakfast as well as treats and drinks throughout the day. The only downside of the hotel is true of many NYC hotels -- which is that they have full sized beds instead of queens. While this is usually a deal breaker for me and my family, I make an exception due to the benefits of staying at this hotel."

"Location was perfect as well as our experiences with the staff at the hotel. The door staff went above and beyond to help us navigate New York’s transportation system. Our room was spacious and the Central Park view was a lovely surprise."

"I chose Thompson Central Park because I’ve enjoyed other Thompson hotels and expected a modern, upscale experience. Unfortunately, this property fell well short of those expectations. The biggest disappointment was the room itself. It was noticeably smaller than other Thompson rooms I’ve stayed in, felt dated, and featured carpet and a bathtub instead of the more modern aesthetic I associate with the brand. To make matters worse, the shower was broken during our stay. Overall, the room simply didn’t feel like a premium hotel experience. The staff was polite and generally helpful, but the service was fairly average. There wasn’t any memorable hospitality or attention to detail that made us feel valued as guests. We also requested just a one-hour late checkout due to a late flight, but the hotel was unable to accommodate it, which was disappointing given the circumstances. The location is excellent and hard to beat for exploring Central Park and Midtown Manhattan, and that’s probably the hotel’s biggest strength. Overall, I left feeling that this hotel doesn’t live up to the Thompson brand or the price point. There are plenty of other luxury hotels in New York that offer a much better room experience and more attentive service. I wouldn’t choose this property again."

"In the middle of the urban jungle is possible to find a calm and relaxed place. Excellent choice. First time I really enjoyed staying in a NYC Hotel."

"This is one of the best properties I've stayed at in the city. It's in a perfect location, located conveniently between Central Park and Times Square. If you're going to a Broadway show, shopping on Fifth Avenue, or taking a stroll through Central Park, it's difficult to think of a better place. The staff is extremely helpful and friendly. Most importantly, the room size is much bigger than other properties in New York. I can't speak more highly of the Thompson."
