The Peninsula New York

The Peninsula New York combines the best of three worlds for top-level meetings. It unites the legendary service standard of the first Peninsula Hotel in Kong Kong, contemporary elegance with accents of art nouveau Paris, and a central location in midtown Manhattan.

Delegates gather in six salons on the third floor of the 23-story Beaux-Arts landmark. Renovated in fall 2009, the rooms incorporate the latest technology as well as luxuriously upholstered wall coverings, Murano glass chandeliers, and sleek stone floors. The staff specializes in executive meetings of all kinds, whether calling for multiple seating arrangements, audiovisual aids, or catering throughout the day. Readers of Travel + Leisure named The Peninsula New York the best business hotel in the city; Gourmet magazine ranked it among the top three hotels for business in all of North America.

Along with fresh, contemporary American cuisine at the restaurant Fives, and newly renovated accommodations, guests enjoy the time-honored tradition of afternoon tea or cocktails at the Gotham Lounge—renowned as a classic place for deal making in the city. In contrast to the lounge's sequestered interior mood, commanding views of Manhattan highlight the open-air feel of the glass-enclosed pool at the spa. The spa, pool, and fitness center take up the top three floors, sharing them only with the penthouse level's Salon de Ning, a glamorous new rooftop bar and terrace.
