IHG Hotels & Resorts is set to expand its presence in New York City with the upcoming launch of the Kimpton Ashbel New York-Park Avenue, scheduled for January. This new addition will be located in the vibrant Midtown Manhattan, just steps away from Grand Central Terminal.
Location and Design of Kimpton Ashbel
The Kimpton Ashbel resides in a 205-room, 17-story building that was originally known as the Doral Park Avenue Hotel, built in 1928. The hotel has been meticulously redesigned to feature chic, townhouse-inspired interiors, showcasing custom furnishings and carefully selected artwork. Guests can choose accommodations with stunning views of the iconic Park Avenue and the Empire State Building. In total, the hotel offers 14 family-friendly connecting rooms, making it an excellent choice for travelers with children.
Amenities for a Unique Experience
The ground floor of the hotel is designed to replicate a residential atmosphere, offering a warm foyer and a cozy living room complete with a stone fireplace and a library area. Kimpton is renowned for its commitment to guest comfort, and the Kimpton Ashbel is no exception. Guests will enjoy complimentary morning coffee service and a delightful afternoon wine hour in the lobby, creating a welcoming environment for relaxation and socializing.
Dining Options at Park & Bel Cafe
The hotel will also introduce the Park & Bel cafe, where visitors can indulge in a selection of baked goods, seasonal fruits, and sandwiches during the morning hours. As the day turns to evening, the menu will shift to include small plates complemented by a bar cart offering cocktails, craft beers, and wine selections. This dining option aims to provide an inviting space for guests to unwind and enjoy their meals.
Expanding the Kimpton Portfolio in NYC
The Kimpton Ashbel will become the third Kimpton hotel in Midtown Manhattan, joining the ranks of the Kimpton Hotel Eventi and the Kimpton Theta New York – Times Square. Additionally, the Kimpton Era Midtown New York is set to debut near Rockefeller Center in March. This continuous growth showcases IHG’s dedication to enhancing the experience for both leisure and business travelers in one of the world’s most bustling metropolitan areas.
