"How did it strike you on arrival?In the tallest residential building in New York, One57, the Park Hyatt is a sleek, serene retreat in the middle of Midtown. Designed by Yabu Pushelberg, the interior promotes a discreet sense of quiet, with plenty of polished marble and stone and color palette dominated by soothing grays, white and rich browns. What’s the crowd like?There's a wide variety here, from business travelers who like the central location to visitors who value the excellent spa and indoor pool for unwinding. The good stuff: Tell us about your room.If James Bond had an apartment in New York, it'd probably look a lot like one of the guest rooms here. It's all crisp, cool minimalism with contemporary furniture, stone floors, and dark wood. And even entry-level rooms clock in at 530 square feet, making them some of the biggest in the city. We’re craving some deep, restorative sleep. They got us?The bed, as you'd expect at this price point, is top-of-the-line. How about the little things, like mini bar, or shower goodies. Any of that find its way into your suitcase?The Nespresso machine is a little thing that makes a big difference first thing in the morning. Please tell us the bathroom won’t let us down.Huge bathrooms have tubs and walk-in showers, plus fabulous-smelling Le Labo products. Maybe the most important topic of all: Wi-Fi. What’s the word?Fast, free Wi-Fi. Anything stand out about other services and features? Whether it’s childcare, gyms, spas, even parking—whatever stuck with you.An entire day can be spent at the hotel's 25th-floor Spa Nalai, where, after a treatment, you can try the eucalyptus steam room, whirlpool, and lap pool, which has to be the most beautiful in Manhattan. What was most memorable—or heartbreaking—about your stay?The chance to stay in one of the tallest buildings in Manhattan at the cross-section of the city is something special. That, and access to the best hotel swimming pool in New York City. Bottom line: worth it, and why?Huge, beautifully designed rooms are reason enough, but you also get a world class spa, swimming pool, and Central Park two blocks away." - John Wogan
