Park Terrace Hotel

The place

Beside Bryant Park, near Times Square, Park Terrace Hotel occupies fifteen stories within The Bryant. Stonehill Taylor took cues from the park across the street, and the interiors feel refreshed by it. The 226 rooms and suites are serene and sleek — contemporary furnishings, pale green accents, upscale amenities.

On the sixth floor sits Branch, a charming private members' club with soaring floor-to-ceiling windows and a bar. The room spills onto a verdant terrace, where a botanical cocktail meets the open air. There is a well-appointed gym with machines and free weights, and a sauna to close out the day.
