New Gansevoort Park Hotel plans summer 2010 opening


The fourth addition the Gansevoort family will make its debut this summer.

The Gansevoort Hotel Group will open its fourth New York property this summer on the corner of Park Avenue and 29th Street. While the Park Avenue clientele might be slightly different than the Meatpacking District crowd, the concept will likely be the same – extreme luxury flanked by modern design and sealed with a rooftop pool.

The 249-room hotel promises a luxury boutique experience. According to the hotel, “The Gansevoort Park aspires to invigorate this corridor of the city on Park Avenue between Madison Square and Gramercy Park. Built from the ground up on what had formerly been Marathon bank, Gansevoort Park will be the crown jewel in a number of new hotels.”

The design teams of Gansevoort Park promise a contemporary decor with some classical nods to 1940’s glam. Some of the new sites at this hotel include guest rooms and suites with balconies and floor-to-ceiling windows, a heated indoor-outdoor pool, exhale spa including a yoga and core studio, fitness room and sauna for guests. In addition, the Gansevoort Park will host Asellina, an Italian trattoria and an infusion liquor bar.
