In a city as busy and noisy as New York, sleep can be hard to come by. That’s why Conrad New York Downtown has introduced a curated amenity package designed to turn every stay into a much-needed sleepcation. It’s a great idea, whether you’re there for work or play.
Good Night Conrad includes a silk eye mask, Scentered Sleep Well Balm (applying this to my wrists, temples and neck has now become a nightly ritual for me) and a Byredo nighttime care kit filled with soothing skincare products. The package also provides you with a white noise machine to use during your stay and a late, 1 pm checkout time so you don’t have to wake up before lunch to leave.
As indulgent as this package is, though, it just adds another level of relaxation to an already well thought out guest experience. What really makes Conrad New York Downtown a standout, aside from their excellent service and convenient location, is that they are an all-suite luxury property that can easily serve as your home away from home. In fact, my husband and I are going to consider it our New York apartment and plan to use it as our homebase when we visit our grandbaby in Battery Park City.
What I especially love about the suites is that the bedroom and living room – both spacious and light – are totally separate. The bathroom is also outside the bedroom and there’s a little “hallway” between the rooms so you can close the bedroom door and one person can work at the desk in the living room or watch TV on the couch without disturbing the other person. It’s a well-designed layout that’s perfect for a long stay.
We chose a room with a Hudson River view, which was spectacular and made me miss living in New York. Although it was bustling outside, our room was quiet and cozy feeling on a windy night in the city.
I really appreciated the hotel’s in-suite Rocean water filtration system, which eliminates single use plastic bottles and makes it easy to refill your own reusable bottle or just grab a glass. This is such a practical, sustainable idea that I hope more hotels will adopt.
A unique feature of Conrad New York Downtown has a jaw-dropping 15-story atrium lobby, which is a great place for people watching and relaxing with a drink. The hotel is surrounded by great restaurants but, if you want to stay in, you can indulge in seasonal specialties at the hotel’s own great ATRIO Wine Bar & Restaurant.
Don’t miss the super popular Loopy Doopy Rooftop Bar, a summertime favorite of locals. Cool off with their signature Poptail, a boozy ice pop served in your choice of Moet & Chandon Ice Imperial, Prosecco or Rosecco on tap, while taking in some of the city’s best views.
Conrad New York Downtown is located right across the street from Brookfield Place, a gorgeous
