Virgin Holidays View
A welcome addition to New York’s already extensive hotel portfolio, the Gansevoort Park Avenue, open since July 2010, offers guests a very privileged level of accommodation in a prestigious location. Rooms and suites are gloriously appointed with lofty ceilings and Juliet balconies. In the lobby, a three-storey atrium showcases striking herringbone granite floors and dramatic aubergine chandeliers. A rooftop swimming pool is perfect for sunny days complete with furnished sundeck on which to kick back. There’s also a rooftop bar and lounge called Twenty 33 which captures perfectly the original elegance of the prohibition-era speakeasy. If the treadmill calls, head to the state-of-the-art fitness centre with everything you need to keep trim. Afterwards, relax at Exhale Spa, a full mind and body experience encompassing transformational healing therapies. Yoga and Core fitness programmes are also available, that’s if you’ve got time in-between sightseeing! Look and feel a million dollars after a trip to Cutler Salon, also on the premises and the stylists for many a glossy magazine. If you’re feeling special, you need somewhere special to dine and the Ristorante Asellina fits the bill perfectly, offering delicious Italian-inspired fare in a sophisticated setting.
