Why book?
The Loews Regency New York Hotel offers a luxury New York experience that focuses on elevated service and comfort, making you feel like you're at home while amongst one of the most rarefied addresses in the world.
Set the scene
For all of the change that New York City has undergone lately, Park Avenue, with its spacious lanes and landscaped stripe of tulips, remains an iconic Manhattan thoroughfare. North of Grand Central Station, around 58th street, the power suits begin to give way to strollers and backpacks, and it's here on the corner of 61st and Park where go-getters go to unwind. Yet, this isn't an over-the-top establishment. There's a subtle Art Deco flair in the lobby, and the hotel feels very much like an Upper East Sider's neighborhood hangout. The crowd skews slightly more mature—these are locals who have already made it.
The rooms
The rooms defy two dreaded fears about New York City hotels—space and noise. Immediately upon walking into my Luxury King room I was impressed, and relieved, by the generous amount of square footage. There was plenty of room next to and in front of the plush bed to walk around, do stretches, and even set up a rollaway bed if you'd like. An expansive desk and chairs made WFH—work from hotel—comfortable and actually enjoyable. The room was super quiet, partly because it faced the more-residential 61st street, but also because the soundproofing on the windows is that good. My first night there, I slept better than I had all month at home.
Food and drink
The Regency Bar and Grill has long been a spot for power breakfasts amongst the city's movers and shakers. Even after the pandemic, which forced the hotel to close for over a year, this remains a place to be seen when making deals. At night, seats at the bar are almost always full of regulars and hotel guests alike mingling at happy hour, with the bubbly energy spreading out into the lobby. The restaurant is also a favorite at lunch amongst locals, who order up Joan's Chopped Salad—named for Joan Tisch, mother of Loews Hotels executive chairman Jon Tisch, who used to live in the hotel—and hearty soups and sandwiches.
The spa
The Julien Farel Restore Spa and Salon is a must-visit during your stay, whether for an expert blow-out or a spa treatment. The spa has created its own "Power Hour" treatment, inspired by the hotel's power breakfasts and lunches, where you can receive three or four services in 60 minutes.
