While an invitation to this prestigious address once indicated your attendance to the exclusive Goodridge parties in the Gilded Age – today’s sojourns contrast the legacy of old-and-young New York for a re-imagining of its enduring grandeur.
It’s called the city that never sleeps for a reason and being home to the music row that kitted-out Jimi Hendrix and Ringo Star, this spot is certainly one of them. Just a stroll away from Broadway and the Rockefeller Centre, there’s no denying you’re in the heart of it all; but it’s the sound of the tempo that’s beating through everything they do. Brimming with iconic memorabilia such as the handwritten lyrics of John Lennon’s ‘New York City’ (1972) to decorative railings made from guitar strings, a stay here is about more than just the history of the scene but how to become a part of it. In rooms, specialist New York playlists spin around Crosby’s, teasing guests to give it a go and pick up their in-room Fender electric guitars and amps. The stage, however, is best set at the Rockstar Suite, an all-glass penthouse on the 36th floor with it’s own outdoor terrace and bar. When the vibe is right, exclusive access is also provided to the hotel’s rooftop bar, where electrifying DJ sets are performed by upcoming and well-known DJs.
The life and soul of any party, this is the place to be when you want an unashamedly ‘New York’ experience that subtly combines all the classics with all the fun. Yoga is practiced using amplified vibrations, pressures, and patterns to completely re-energise the spirit, and evenings are spent in the hotel’s basement ‘The Venue’ with all the excitement of a speakeasy design, filled with modern tech. Sports too, simply couldn’t go amiss with the NYY restaurant serving sustainably sourced meat and seafood against the backdrop of a custom signature wall filled with autographs from 86 legendary Yankee players.
