Situated at 444 Park Avenue South, Hotel Park Ave gives guests a coveted Manhattan address with real advantages. It's just steps from the Empire State Building and within walking distance of major attractions like Central Park and the flagship boutiques of Fifth Avenue. For business travelers, being based in NoMad means easy access to Midtown’s corporate corridors and Madison Square Park’s tech hubs, while multiple subway lines nearby provide seamless connectivity across the city. After hours, guests can stroll to an array of acclaimed restaurants and cocktail bars in the neighborhood, or simply admire the city lights along Park Avenue’s tree-lined median – a perfect blend of business convenience and cosmopolitan leisure.
Hotel Park Ave’s standout feature for gourmands is Park Rose, the new on-site restaurant and speakeasy-style bar. Just opening its doors earlier this month, Park Rose has quickly become an insider’s favorite for its decadent atmosphere – a blend of contemporary refinement and timeless Park Avenue glamour.
The culinary program at Park Rose spans from morning to late evening, meaning you can start your day with a power breakfast and return for a gourmet dinner without ever leaving the hotel. Executive Chef Carsten Johannsen’s menu puts a modern twist on Italian-American classics. Guests can savor handmade pastas, fire-grilled pizzas, and vibrant seasonal plates designed for sharing – each dish celebrating simplicity and top-quality market ingredients. There are hearty grill selections like tender steaks and veal chops, and even a signature Roman-style thin-crust pizza made from a four-day fermented dough for exceptional flavor and lightness. Every bite feels familiar yet elevated, making Park Rose as suited for client lunches as it is for indulgent dinners.
Even though Hotel Park Ave’s new restaurant Park Rose has been turning heads, the hotel has yet another announcement. Behind a discreet door just off the dining room lies Seed Library, the hotel’s upcoming hidden speakeasy — a plush, softly lit cocktail bar evoking old New York elegance with a garden-inspired twist. Inside, velvet seating, moody lighting, and a curated vinyl soundtrack set the tone for refined unwinding.
At Seed Library, the atmosphere is expected to be intimate and immersive. Velvet seating, moody lighting, and a curated vinyl soundtrack set the tone for refined unwinding. The cocktail list is a collaboration between beverage director Gary Wallach and chef Carsten Johannsen, blending seasonal ingredients with inventive flair. Signature drinks center around housemade vermouths and botanical infusions, such as charred grapefruit and burnt pear, served tableside for a bespoke experience. Divided into “Perennials” (classics with a twist) and “Annuals” (seasonal specials), the menu invites regular discovery.
For business and luxury travelers alike, Hotel Park Ave NYC strikes an enviable balance. It offers the efficiency and connectivity needed for a productive stay, wrapped in an ambiance of boutique elegance. With spacious rooms to recharge in, a prime location to explore from, and Park Rose’s culinary magic just downstairs, this Park Avenue haven lets guests experience New York City on their own terms – with style, ease, and a touch of indulgence.
