The Fifth Avenue Hotel in New York, NY

The Fifth Avenue Hotel, New York, NY a Gilded Age bank and 21st century tower blend together seamlessly and provide a modern guest experience. To create a luxury boutique hotel on New York City’s iconic Fifth Avenue at West 28th Street, Perkins Eastman gave new life to a historic building and designed a modern landmark tower. The team worked with the developers, operators, and PBDW Architects to analyze the opportunity and envision a lifestyle destination. A former bank designed in the early 1900s by McKim, Mead & White provided the ideal base. The historic structure’s restoration and the new tower are both suited for the landmark-protected neighborhood. With precast concrete and stone cladding and metal frame windows arranged in striking vertical sets, the tower brings renewed visual interest to 28th Street. Welcoming guests inside, a vaulted two-story space in the re-adapted bank includes a signature restaurant, lounges, ballroom, and hotel amenities. Spacious private suites overlooking Fifth Avenue and guest rooms spread throughout both buildings provide a relaxing atmosphere in the heart of the city.

The Fifth Avenue Hotel in New York, NY, embodies an ambitious investment vision that seeks to blend historical elegance with contemporary luxury in one of the city’s most iconic locations.

The Fifth Avenue Hotel is built on the former estate of Mrs. Charlotte Goodridge, a legendary Gilded Age hostess whose home was the epicenter of culture and discourse in 19th-century New York City.
