As someone who adores a getaway staycation in New York City, I eagerly immersed in the splendor of The Marmara Park Avenue, a boutique hotel in midtown convenient to Bryant Park, the Empire State Building, and Five Avenue shopping. This hotel has much to offer both tourists and New Yorkers alike, including spacious suites in a variety of sizes. The aesthetic is modern and the service is old-world traditional in that guests catered to in style and with thoughtfulness.
Opened in 2016 by the Marmara Collection Hotel Group, the building at 114 East 32nd Street dates back to 1927 and has been redesigned by the Joe Ginsberg Design Company, which commissioned local artisans to create an opulent hotel that feels like a chic pied-à-terre. The hotel’s entrance to the lobby is a stunning arched vestibule made from 670 pieces of faceted steel frame, and 700 panes of hand-cut glass over a large bronze door. An inlaid brass motif of kings and queens decorates the terrazzo floor.
The Marmara Park Avenue’s lobby impresses with well-appointed modern art and statues, and the hotel’s entire staff is remarkably warm and friendly. The doormen are genuine in their desire to be helpful, and the front desk staff are ultra-accommodating.
Adjacent to the hotel restaurant is a library with a fully-equipped office with computer services. A well-designed parlor area with a large fireplace accentuated by contemporary art completes the elegant lobby design.
The Marmara Park Avenue offers 128 residential-style guest rooms and suites, each a dream New York City apartment with bespoke furnishing, original wallpaper designs, and iPads with 24/7 virtual concierge service. All ADA rooms are handicap-accessible with specially designed limited glass bathrooms and flat surfaces for wheelchair access. The Marmara Park Avenue has some of the city’s most spacious accommodations with top-of-the-line appliances, a washer and dryer, microwave, wine cooler, and a Nespresso machine.
There are 29 king guest rooms, ranging from 533 – 900 square feet, 6 junior and 7 two-bedroom suites (one handicapped) with two kings or one king/two twins with 1,170 square feet, all with
shared or private terraces – definitely a prized amenity in New York City.
Some suites have outdoor balconies that face the Empire State and Chrysler buildings for stunning, iconic NYC panoramas.
Dine outside for a spring or summer picnic at a table on your outdoor balcony, or work remotely from there. You can keep up your fitness routine in the hotel’s 24-hour gym, take a dip in their luxurious pool, then slumber soundly on a remarkably comfortable king-sized bed.
This is a memorable gift for Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, for newlyweds, the newly engaged, for graduates, for birthdays, and for anyone who needs a relaxing vacation in the heart of Manhattan.
Dining & A RoofTop Bar
The Tuti Restaurant Bar Lounge offers breakfast fare, sandwiches, a kids menu, cheese + charcuterie boards, pasta, main courses, drinks and cocktails, from 7am – midnight.
Rooftop bars in Manhattan are in high demand as soon as breezes turn balmy, and The Marmara Park Avenue’s rooftop bar is spectacular. The Balcón Rooftop Bar provides multiple-angle stunning Manhattan views along with small bites, salads, desserts, cheese and charcuterie platters, and all of your favorite cocktails.
The rooftop is gorgeous by day and magical by night.
