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 relieve. 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.

  • 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.

Important Bits

  • Type

    Wellness-focused lifestyle hotel

  • Vibe

    Hyped and fit

  • Location

    In the heart of Hudson Yards, Manhattan's Midtown West newest neighborhood

  • Rooms

    212 rooms and suites

  • 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...

  • Music

    Current, lively, on point

  • Year Opened

    2019

  • Designed By

    The Rockwell Group and Joyce Wang Studio

  • 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 sough-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 messaged 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.

  • Accessibility

    All areas of the hotel are accessible including dedicated accessible rooms

  • Pet Friendly

    Yes

    Yes
