Ranked the No. 1 hotel in New York by U.S. News & World Report, the North American flagship for the Park Hyatt brand occupies the base of Extell Development Company's iconic One57 skyscraper. The 210-room property is one of the privileged few in the world to also receive both the American Automobile Association's Five-Diamond and Forbes Travel Guide Five-Star ratings.With sophisticated interiors designed by award-winning interior design team Yabu Pushelberg, Park Hyatt New York offers unprecedented luxury in the heart of Midtown.

In the tallest residential building in New York, One57, the Park Hyatt is a sleek, serene retreat in the middle of Midtown. Designed by Yabu Pushelberg, the interior promotes a discreet sense of quiet, with plenty of polished marble and stone and color palette dominated by soothing grays, white and rich browns.

There's a wide variety here, from business travelers who like the central location to visitors who value the excellent spa and indoor pool for unwinding.If James Bond had an apartment in New York, it'd probably look a lot like one of the guest rooms here. It's all crisp, cool minimalism with contemporary furniture, stone floors, and dark wood. And even entry-level rooms clock in at 475 square feet, making them some of the biggest in the city.

From its 210 rooms and suites to its restaurant and bar to its 25th-floor spa and triple-height indoor pool area, the duo’s appealingly masculine, mid-century–inspired design for the Park Hyatt New York is awash in luxe fabrics, burnished metals, dark hardwoods and acres of richly grained marble and onyx in shades of cream, brown and gray. Floor-to-ceiling windows, custom lighting and furnishings plus 350 works of largely American contemporary art complete the look.

Floor-to-ceiling windows on the north side of the hotel open to expansive views of Central Park and the buildings surrounding it. The Living Room features a mobile sculpture by Japanese design firm Studio Sawada, which Yabu Pushelberg commissioned for the space.Yabu Pushelberg decided not to do a business center — which is usually the “technology hub” in a hotel. Instead, they created a quiet salon and lounge space where people can hold casual meetings and work on their personal devices and mobiles.

Yabu Pushelberg commissioned artisans and craftsmen they know to create all of the accessories in the hotel. Larger custom pieces include the mobile sculpture above the lobby bar, which is by the Japanese design outfit Studio Sawada, and the metal sculpture in the spa, done by Toronto’s UnitFive Design.

The 25th-floor spa’s Treatment Room for Two is one of the designers’ favorite spaces in the hotel, not least of all because of its high ceilings. They’re corner suites offered on every floor of the hotel, but the ones on floors 8 to 15 offer fantastic views of 57th Street and the Carnegie Hall facade, putting New York in the palm of your hand.
