Royalton Park Avenue
It’s no secret that The City That Never Sleeps is inundated with sleek hotels. One property that stands out from the rest? Royalton Park Avenue.

What You Need to Know
The Look of Royalton Park Avenue
Upon entering this high-rise hotel, your eyes will instantly be drawn to the bold, edgy, and natural light-filled — albeit cozy — lobby. The swanky Penthouse on Park is outfitted with floor-to-ceiling windows, plush seating, and striking chandeliers. Adjacent to the main rooftop area is The Ivy Room. Open five nights a week, the eclectic space is decorated with greenery covered walls and anchored by a bright yellow piano with accompanying live musicians nightly.
The rooms and suites are equally as fun with hot pink throw pillows and drapes, plus colorful artwork. Regardless of which category you book, all accommodations offer a seating area and oversized bathrooms. Most also offer Juliet balconies. Or, for a worth-it splurge, opt for a suite with a soaking tub for a refreshing soak and a large living area where you can lounge on the couch with some room service.
The Vibe at Royalton Park Avenue
The Royalton Park Avenue feels more like a posh pied-à-terre than a traditional hotel. Guests are often out and about exploring the city, and the staff — while helpful — sort of blends into the background: Instead, it’s the interiors, rooftop pool, and lounge areas that take center stage.

Best Amenity at Royalton Park Avenue
