 New
York, NY (February 23, 2011)— Gansevoort Hotel Group announces the
official
opening of its latest venture, Gansevoort Park Avenue NYC, at Park
Avenue South
and 29th Street. In the Gansevoort tradition, the property
sets a new standard for both hotel living and destination gathering,
with 249
sleekly appointed rooms and suites averaging 462 square feet; a
jaw-dropping
three-story lobby; a tri-level rooftop complex with a spectacular
indoor/outdoor pool and connected nightlife spaces; and the recently
opened
Ristorante Asellina, a 10,000 square-foot Italian trattoria, operated
by The
ONE Group and featuring a James Beard Award-winning chef.“We are thrilled to unveil Gansevoort Park Avenue as the city’s most comprehensive urban resort,” said Michael Achenbaum, President of Gansevoort Hotel Group. “Through groundbreaking partnerships with leading brands in the restaurant, beauty, and fashion industries, the hotel provides a one-of-a-kind experience for hotel guests and an exciting new addition to Manhattan’s culinary and nightlife scene.” Those partnerships are central to the Gansevoort Park Avenue conception of a complete resort experience. Exhale spa provides a full menu of spa therapies and a daily schedule of its highly acclaimed Core Fusion® yoga classes. A Lacoste boutique offers co-branded merchandise and limited-edition items created in partnership with well-known designers. Cutler serves as the in-house salon and is the exclusive provider of hotel bath and hair products. And a unique arrangement with Porsche means that Gansevoort Park Avenue NYC guests can enjoy complimentary in-town car service in the 2011 Porsche Panamera 4S. Gansevoort Park Avenue’s design combines classic American inspirations with the Gansevoort Hotel Group’s signature uninhibited spirit. The showpiece lobby, guest rooms, presidential suite, and pool area were all designed by architect Stephen B. Jacobs and interior designer Andi Pepper, the team responsible for Gansevoort Meatpacking NYC. Manhattan-based firm ICRAVE created the restaurant, Asellina. And noted photographer Deborah Anderson’s artwork is integrated throughout the hotel – on walls, in guestrooms, and on the rooftop. “Gansevoort Park Avenue was conceived throughout as a self-contained world,” says Achenbaum. “You can swim, shop, work out, enjoy a complete spa experience, and see and be seen at one of several city hot spots – all without ever leaving the resort. Of course, if you do, you’re right in the middle of Manhattan, and you’ve got a wonderfully stylish and relaxing home to return to.” Gansevoort Park Rooftop The Gansevoort Park Rooftop is a 20,000 sq. foot tri-level complex that consists of an Ultra Lounge with attached outdoor balconies, an indoor/outdoor pool deck connected to multiple bar areas, and a distinct outdoor rooftop level with stunning 360-degree city views. This one-of-a-kind entertainment property in New York has been built to accommodate large-scale events, while operating seven days a week with a welcoming entry policy that stays true to the local Park Avenue vibe. Satsky & Gefter Corp., the proprietors of various luxury nightlife venues in New York, has partnered with The ONE Group and Gansevoort Hotel Group to create an enhanced nightlife experience at the Gansevoort Park Rooftop. These intertwined relationships assemble a multi-talented group whose first priority is guest experience. Another Satsky & Gefter Corp. property and concept located on the ground level of Gansevoort Park will open in Spring 2011. Ristorante Asellina From industry leader The ONE Group—creator of STK and The Collective—comes Asellina, an Italian trattoria led by Executive Chef Marco Porceddu. The menu offers rustic dishes such as Wild Mushroom Agnolotti with Fresh Sage and Parmigiano and Stuffed Beef Tenderloin with Chanterelle, Ubriaco Cheese, and Red Wine. Porceddu, the James Beard Award-winning chef, also oversees the menus for the Gansevoort Park Rooftop, private events and hotel room service. exhale spa Exhale presents a full menu of signature spa therapies as well as its highly acclaimed proprietary Core Fusion® classes (including Core Fusion®, Core Fusion Sport®, and Core Fusion Cardio®) and yoga classes (including Music Yoga Flow and Core Fusion Yoga®).
