With approximately 670 hotels in Manhattan, there are plenty of places to choose from when planning a trip to New York City. Selecting can be a daunting task, but thanks to newcomer Pendry Manhattan West, opting for a stay at the iconic brand with a loyal following (there are properties in Baltimore, Chicago, San Diego, and West Hollywood with Park City and Tampa on the horizon), choosing where to rest one’s head becomes seamless task.
With 164 luxury guest rooms (including 30 suites), each featuring interiors by world-renowned Gachot Studios, the hotel’s design emanates comfort, tranquility and ease, luring celebrities like Kanye West and Julia Fox. Opened September 2021, Pendry Manhattan West's aesthetics are inspired by the West Coast Light and Space Movement of the ‘60s (also known as “California Minimalist”) which emphasized geometric shapes and their relationship with light. Clean lines, light wood tones and a robust array of art grace the property, blurring the lines between functional property and a work of art.
“New York City is unlike anywhere else — it has its own gravitational pull, and is the nexus of design, fashion, luxury, culinary innovation and hospitality in America,” says Michael Fuerstman, Co-Founder and Creative Director, Pendry Hotels & Resorts. “Opening Pendry Manhattan West is an opportunity for us to bring the things that inspire us as a brand to this iconic and electric city — we could not be more honored than to help define a new neighborhood and culture center for one of the great cities in the world.”
Among the things Pendry brings are exceptional food and drink options. Take the signature restaurant Zou Zou’s, for example. Helmed by Chef Madeline Sperling and Chef Juliana Latif, this Eastern Mediterranean gem offers dishes like Lobster Tagine and Moroccan Fried Chicken. Head to the Garden Room for a quick bite and a refreshing recharge after a busy day of sightseeing, shopping or meetings. The blonde wood interior framed by verdant foliage offers a respite from the buzz of the city.
Cocktail enthusiasts will not want to miss Bar Pendry, a sophisticated lobby bar with a nostalgic nod to old New York. The intimate, dimly lit space begs for secrets to be spilled over martinis, whether sitting at the bar graced by artwork by New York artist Nancy Lorenz or cozying around the fireplace in the lounge space.
Located within a six-building mixed-use complex that includes the flagship Peloton Studios, guests will find the hotel’s a state-of-the-art fitness center equipped with Peloton and Technogym equipment. Pro-tip: You can have the high-end bike delivered to your room — all you have to do is ask.
Between the alluring food and drink options, contemporary design and exceptionally comfortable rooms basked in neutral color palette, thoughtful details and modern amenities, it’s tempting to travel to Manhattan just to recharge and replenish at the Pendry Manhattan West. Of course, The City That Never Sleeps beckons. Just knowing a space brimming with luxury and serenity awaits makes a dynamic day in Manhattan worthier in the end.
