Just a block from Central Park South, 1 Hotel Central Park is a green hotel combines nature with comfort, the perfect place if you’re looking to be close to the hustle and bustle of midtown and the calmness of Central Park.
When I walked through the large wooden doors of the hotel and stepped inside the lobby, I noticed that the space is filled with nature-inspired decor including glass terrariums, potted plants, and walls of tree bark—all paying homage to the iconic green space just a block away.
I stayed in the City King room which included a bed, small table, TV, king-sized bed and two night tables. The size of the room was comfortable for a Manhattan hotel and the green, nature-focused decor made the room feel so homey. The wood paneling and plants made me feel like I was staying in someone’s well-decorated guest room, which I really enjoyed.
The attention to detail is prominent throughout the entire hotel, from the plants in the lobby to the potted moss on the bedroom windowsills. If you’re looking to stay at a hotel close to the hustle and bustle of midtown Manhattan, while also being a few steps away from Central park, this is the spot.
Neighborhood: Just two avenues over you can find shops and restaurants at in Columbus Circle, including Momofuku Noodle Bar, Per Se and Bāng Bar.
Time Out tip: Skip room service and head downstairs to Jams for breakfast in the morning and try their Brioche French Toast.
