What You Need to Know
The Look of Equinox Hotel New York
Equinox Hotel New York is housed in a striking 14-story skyscraper made of limestone and glass, and its interiors are just as eye-catching. In the elegant and polished lobby, guests’ eyes are immediately drawn to a spiderweb-like custom light fixture, which curlicues up above the stairs. At the top of said stairs is where you’ll find the swanky Electric Lemon lounge and restaurant, where a chic marble bar area and plush seating attract guests and locals alike.
The lobby itself serves as a sleek central gathering place with black stone floors and a curved concrete mezzanine. The expansive outdoor terrace is equally stunning, with a massive Jaume Plensa sculpture, an outdoor reflection pool, and panoramic skyline views. Other common areas include the 60,000-square-foot fitness club, which boasts an indoor and outdoor pool, the latter of which is flanked by comfy daybeds overlooking Hudson Yards.
In contrast to the buzzy common spaces, the 212 rooms and suites are designed to promote calm with a chic, neutral color palette. Accommodations are specially designed to optimize sleep and are outfitted with features such as blackout blinds, soundproofing technology, and extra comfortable beds equipped with temperature-regulating fibers. In-room mini bars are stocked with herbal sleep-inducing teas, tinctures, and eye masks, while the in-room dining menu features a curated selection of snacks meant to support natural melatonin production. When guests aren’t catching up on zzz’s, they can admire the views from their 10-foot-tall floor-to-ceiling windows or lounge out on a plush sofa.
