A peak into a next door suite
My standard room was comfortable and perfectly spacious for my stay

They said no pictures at the club, but then the light…

The second of my two techno treatments. Following a 30-minute deep infrared sauna, three minutes in this cryo chamber at -100 Celsius. I swear it was enjoyable — and it made me feel so high on life

Highs & Lows

The food at Electric Lemon. It was divine!
-
The techno treatments at the spa. I checked into the hotel after a couple of days in transit and moving stuff in and out of storage. I consider myself to be in good shape, but 14 non-stop hours carrying books and boxes were so taxing on my body I was skeptic any kind of spa treatment could bring me relief. Quite surprisingly, it only took 30 minutes in deep infrared chamber combined with 3 minutes of cryotherapy to make me feel new again.
-
I know Equinox is known to gather a fit and fine crowd, but damn those cardio and strength training floors were oozing sexiness!
-
The team. Smart and smiley, knowledgeable about the hotel, the club and the area. It was such a pleasure to meet them.
-
The comfort. The ultra-high pressure shower was like a mini massage and the bed and pillows were heaven.
-
The energy throughout. Every detail of the hotel, the club and the spa is designed to promote and support a high-performance life. Staying here and diving deep into this modus operandi was inspiring.
-
After a night out, I was anticipating getting back to dimmed lights, untucked bed sheets, slippers ready for cozy times, perhaps a soft background music... Turndown service would’ve been greatly appreciated.
-
Landing at the fitness club can be daunting for a first-timer. A little guidance on how to navigate the floors and equipment would be super helpful.

Pre-Arrival & Arrival Experience
To come through such a massive and impressive artwork as The Vessel to reach the hotel is an experience in its own. The hotel shares the building with a residential complex too, with independent entrances around the corner from each other. Equinox New York's lobby is on the fourth floor, where you will be greeted by a stylish team (hi Dapper Dan!) who will check you in and make sure you have everything you need at all times.

Future Forward
I would love to go back to the hotel and find out they eliminated all plastic water bottles from lobby and rooms...

Health & Wellness
The gym here isn’t a mere hotel amenity. I'd rather say this is the ultimate fitness club (Equinox Hudson Yards) that comes with a hotel (Equinox New York) and a spa (The Spa by Equinox Hotels). 60,000 square feet of cardio and strength training equipment, group classes, saunas, indoor and outdoor pools, and a wraparound terrace with 360 views of Manhattan and the Hudson River. And the spa has a comprehensive array of treatments and equipments.
-
Food
Electric Lemon, the in-house restaurant is simply WOW
-
Bar, Events & Nightlife
Electric Lemon is also the bar — a very sought-after spot attracting the after-work crowd from the area. Delicious cocktails, stunning sunset views, and a good flirt.
-
Minibar & Retail
I know people who judge a hotel by their minibar selection — I had to message them with a few pictures from here. It was way beyond the usual suspects. Delicious treats, both healthy and naughty, flanked by sexual wellness goodies, workout gear, and a wide choice of supplements, drinks, and potions created to help you wind down or start your day with a power boost.

Hudson Yards was presented in 2019 as Manhattan's newest neighborhood, decentralizing the visitors’ flow from Times Square while giving New Yorkers a new hub for art, business, and wellness. Staying here means you are close to the city's main venues hosting major arts, culture, sports, business, and tech events.
