Just north of Times Square and south of Central Park sits a rare gem of luxury and exclusivity, smack in the center of New York‘s most visited landmarks. On 55th Street, between 7th Avenue and Broadway​ you’ll find a non-assuming Beaux Art structure that belies the comforts, superior service, and outstanding accommodations offered by the stylish WestHouse Hotel New York.

​We reviewed the property in 2015, and three years later it remains one of the best hotels in the city.
Obviously the location is difficult to surpass. Here you’ll be steps away from Rockefeller Center, Carnegie Hall, the Theater District, Restaurant Row, and the above mentioned Central Park and Times Square district. ​There’s nothing better than leaving Uber or taxicabs behind and exploring the city’s center by walking everywhere. And after it’s all done returning to your private retreat which is steps away.

Amenities
One of the best reasons to stay at WestHouse are the amenities offered. On the ground floor, right behind the Check-In desk, you’ll find an expansive lounge filled with plush sofas and oversize chairs, with the main bar to the side.
The Den is elegant and reserved, designed with a fireplace, crystal chandeliers, rich colors, and deep mahogany woods. The feel takes on a classic speakeasy with a modern twist. This is the ideal place to plan your day’s journey. Order a drink, read a book, or get together with the concierge to make Broadway or dinner reservations, and map out exciting city adventures.

When you return head to the 23rd floor for a truly classic New York moment. Now, while it’s still warm, this is a picturesque place to take in the glory of the City. Lose yourself in the middle of the skyscrapers and gaze at the sunset over the Hudson River in the distance.

Best of all, every evening from 5 – 7pm WestHouse serves a complimentary light buffet, complimentary beverages – including soft drinks, juices, wine and proseco – and a complimentary barista bar to create your personally selected coffees and teas. The varied buffet menu can include pastas, salads, crudites, charcuterie and cheese platters, and more. This is a rare benefit among New York luxury hotels.
There’s also a morning complimentary breakfast.

WestHouse has partnered with several brands to create a fluid, residential feel, in what they call #InResidence Privileges. These offerings include:

Concierge services, available to create custom itineraries or confirm special appointments and reservations
A 24-hour workout room with personal trainers, on request

Evening turndown, on request

Accommodations
Accommodations at WestHouse remain comfortable, private, and surprisingly large for midtown hotels.  Throughout the property you’ll find photographs of legendary moments from Hollywood and Broadway’s bygone era decorating the walls. Rooms are soundproof and you’ll never know you’re in the middle of the action with the quietness that surrounds you.

Each room offers an elegant comfortable feel, designed to create the atmosphere of a luxury apartment in the most exciting city in the world. Captivating views of Central Park and Times Square are a rare asset. As are the high ceilings that crown interior spaces with textured wall coverings, tufted leather headboards, director’s chairs, custom dark wood furnishings and plush flooring.

Select suites offer sumptuous Sleep | Studio beds boasting mattresses that marry the science of sleep with the beauty of design. Marble bathrooms include steam-free glass-enclosed rain showers and custom fittings, and bespoke DayNa Decker bath and body products.

The next time you visit the Big Apple choose a truly unique hotel, one that will deliver the quintessential New York experience. WestHouse should be on your list of top properties to consider. Now that Theater Week is taking place may be the best time to make reservations.
