I had the pleasure of staying at Andaz 5th Avenue in June of this year and met their wonderful sales team for a site visit. New York City is a destination that is always in demand, and staying in the heart of Midtown Manhattan places you at the center of the action at this property. You will be close to iconic landmarks like Bryant Park, Grand Central Terminal, and the New York Public Library. It stands as the perfect, serene home base after days spent out in the bustle of the city that never sleeps.

Rooms:
With just under 200 rooms, the property feels like a true boutique stay. Rooms are carefully designed to be modern, and minimalist, with a distinctly New York flair. 12-foot ceilings, clean lines, and local art create a chic, understated atmosphere. My room featured oversized windows with direct views of the Library and a spacious layout (a rare commodity in New York). Suites take it up a notch in the luxury department with automated Toto toilets and Dyson hair dryers. The true two-bedroom suite with separate ensuite bathrooms is perfect for families and features a kitchenette for longer stays.

Amenities & dining:
Guests at the Andaz 5th Avenue will have a long list of amenities to elevate not only their experience but value as well. Think free daily wine hour in the lobby, free select snacks replenished daily in the in-room mini bar, and free self-serve coffee each morning. When booking with me, you can expect additional VIP perks like free breakfast for two at the on-site restaurant, which serves up delicious breakfast entrees and healthy juices. The cocktail bar at the property, called The Bar Downstairs, has an extensive craft cocktail menu. The fitness center has the equipment needed to get a comprehensive workout.

Final note:
Andaz 5th Avenue is well-suited for a wide range of travelers: solo adventurers, business professionals, couples, and families looking for a stylish home base. The spacious rooms and sleek design provide the perfect relaxing contrast to days spent exploring New York City.
