People living in the New York Tri-State area are always captivated by the magic of Manhattan's world-class dining, entertainment, and cultural attractions. But fighting crowds and public transportation woes? Not so magical.
Thompson Central Park New York is not just a hotel. It’s an oasis, a home away from home that offers an ideal base for a relaxing weekend or midweek staycation in the city.
Forget the stress of navigating traffic. Thompson Central Park’s main entrance is perfectly situated on West 56th Street between 6th and 7th Avenues, and valet service offers a stress-free arrival (Guests can also enter the hotel from the public arcade of 57th Street).
The hotel is just a short walk from Central Park's lush greenery and a few blocks from Billionaire’s Row, with its pencil-thin, sky-high residential towers. This prime location offers easy access to lively entertainment venues (including Lincoln Center, Carnegie Hall, and Broadway theaters), immersive museums (including the Museum of Modern Art and the Museum of Arts and Design), trendy restaurants, and The Shops at Columbus Circle.
After a hotel valet parks their car and whisks their bags inside, guests can explore the rest of the city outfitted with comfy walking shoes and ride-hailing apps (like Uber or Lyft). Or, they can hop on the 57th-Seventh Avenue subway just around the corner.
People may have known the hotel from its previous lives before its transformation.
The hotel was called the Great Northern Hotel before its purchase in 1981 by the Jack Parker Corp, a subsidiary of Air France), who renamed it the Hotel Parker Meridien New York.
The hotel was sold again in 2018 and renamed Parker New York Hotel. After a closure during the pandemic and a major renovation, the Thompson Central Park New York re-opened in 2021 under the Hyatt umbrella.
Thompson Central Park New York is a gem with updated and redesigned guestrooms, suites, and public spaces with a music-centric theme.
The property has 587 stylish rooms and suites with different views and at various price points. All the rooms are spacious by NYC standards and tastefully decorated with contemporary furniture and soothing colors.
Stonehill Taylor designed the guest rooms, and Thomas Juul-Hansen designed the public spaces. The hotel's artwork pays homage to its location and history, creating a unique and immersive experience for guests.
The pet-friendly hotel has a fitness center and meeting facilities that can accommodate up to 140 people.
The Upper Stories, a luxurious 'hotel within a hotel' concept introduced in 2022, is an exclusive enclave on the hotel’s upper floors, 26 through 33.
