The Peninsula New York – Redefining Urban Luxury for the Connected Traveller

The Peninsula New York stands as the definition of refined urban luxury in the heart of Manhattan.
Occupying a landmark Beaux-Arts building on the legendary Fifth Avenue, this address represents more than accommodation — it embodies a philosophy of living shaped by heritage, precision and care.

Guided by The Peninsula Promise – a global ethos rooted in consistency, sophistication and humanity – the hotel unites timeless craftsmanship with intelligent modernity. Through this feature, explore how The Peninsula New York weaves together history, design, service, dining and wellbeing to create a sanctuary for today’s most discerning travellers.

Location

Perfectly positioned at Fifth Avenue and 55th Street, the hotel lies amid Manhattan’s cultural and commercial icons: Central Park, Rockefeller Center, the Museum of Modern Art, and luxury boutiques such as Tiffany & Co. and Bergdorf Goodman.

The location mirrors everything The Peninsula brand represents — access, artistry and affluence.
It offers the city’s pulse within arm’s reach, yet a sense of calm detachment prized by global leaders, creatives and collectors alike.

A Heritage Rooted in Elegance and Legacy

Since its re-opening under The Peninsula Hotels Group in 1988, the hotel has been a discreet icon of Manhattan glamour. The property occupies a 1905 Beaux-Arts building, originally the Gotham Hotel, which bridges early-20th-century grandeur with the contemporary rhythm of New York City.

As part of The Hongkong and Shanghai Hotels, Limited, the brand behind The Peninsula Hotels, the New York property continues a lineage of excellence that began in Hong Kong in 1928. Its architecture and service philosophy capture the spirit of “Timeless New York” — preserving classical Fifth Avenue elegance while reflecting the dynamism of the city that never sleeps.

Architecture and Design

The architecture of The Peninsula New York is a conversation between tradition and innovation.
Inside, polished marble, walnut panelling and soft golden light create a palette of quiet confidence.
Influenced by 1920s American art and design, interiors balance classic craftsmanship with contemporary restraint: custom furniture, tailored fabrics and curated artwork evoke warmth and intimacy.

The result is a setting where heritage is never lost — it is subtly enhanced by modern sensibility.
