Location

The Ritz Carlton New York Central Park in Midtown Manhattan is an ideal location for anyone visiting the city. Adjacent to the famed Central Park, this luxury hotel is just blocks away from additional New York must-see venues. These venues include Broadway, Carnegie Hall, the Lincoln Center, the Natural History Museum, Rockefeller Center, and The Met.

Moreover, for those seeking the authentic New York experience, there are almost a dozen subway lines within walking distance. Besides, cabs are always circling the area. Additionally, dining and shopping options galore -- everything from the local bagel shop to high-class dining.

Furthermore, you can put on your shopping shoes and head down Fifth Avenue or Madison Avenue for hours of retail therapy, among some of the biggest fashion names.

Rooms and Suites

Offering 253 guest rooms, The Ritz Carlton New York Central Park has a room that will impress, no matter the budget. All rooms and suites are expertly decorated in soft shades of rose and taupe. Besides, beautifully patterned carpets and drapes draw everything together. Additionally, the home-like townhouse feel comes together with comfy beds and richly upholstered furniture.

Moreover, there are park view rooms and avenue view rooms, but all are remarkably quiet for being right in the heart of Manhattan. You can also ask for one of the corner suites for the best combination of quiet, luxury, and a view.

Thanks to smart interior designing, the traditionally cramped quarters of midtown hotels don't seem to apply here. Instead, guests will be quite comfortable in their accommodation. Each features a couch, coffee table, king-sized bed, and large marbled bathroom with a soaking tub. Guests can even request a bathroom with a bidet for the ultimate experience in luxury.

Beyond the offerings of the hotel rooms, the suites include a separate living room and add a work desk, a queen sofa bed, a closet, and an additional bathroom. Suite guests also get complimentary access to the Club Lounge, with complimentary food and drink presentations daily.

What's more, suites are named for the views that they offer. For example, the Park View Suite, the Grand Park View Suite, and the Avenue View Suite boasting city views and Central Park views that are one-of-a-kind. These spaces continue to grow into size up to The Royal Suites. This is a magnificent two-bedroom corner suite of over 2,000 square feet of luxury.

Restaurant and Bar

Much of life in the city revolves around food, and the dining options at the Ritz reflect that. The main restaurant onsite is Contour. It is an all-day lounge that transforms its menu and atmosphere according to the time of day. It's a great place to relax for a pre-dinner cocktail at the marble bar or an after-dinner nightcap in one of the two laid-back lounge areas. Dining options include everything from breakfast omelets and Maine lobster rolls for lunch.

Guests can also gain access to the Club Lounge. The Lounge offers breakfast options every day and snacks available pretty much 24/7. Appetizers and cocktails are also available in the early evening. As a result, guests can make it their last stop of the night and grab some dessert.

Spa

Step into La Prairie Spa. Here, you'll have no idea you're still in the heart of New York City (aside from the fact that you're standing in a luxurious spa, of course). A quiet, relaxing shelter from the noise and the crowds below, La Prairie offers a wide variety of treatments. These include facials and various massage options. Special attention is also given to the quality of ingredients used in the treatments, and guests will certainly notice the difference.
