What The Peninsula New York actually is
The Peninsula occupies a landmarked 1905 building on the corner of Fifth Avenue and 55th Street, and it is the rare grand Midtown hotel that feels genuinely contemporary inside. Rooms run large, with bedside control panels, deep soaking tubs and a level of technical fit-out the Hong Kong group is known for.
Salon de Ning, the rooftop bar on the 23rd floor, has open-air terraces facing north and south — the north terrace looks straight up Fifth Avenue toward Central Park. The spa occupies two full floors and includes a glass-walled pool with skyline views, which is unusual for a hotel of this age.
