IHG Hotels & Resorts has welcomed the addition of Kimpton Ashbel New York – Park Avenue, welcoming guests to a reimagined Beaux-Arts landmark along one of Manhattan’s most storied avenues.
Just steps from Grand Central Terminal and Bryant Park, the hotel brings new life to the historic building originally constructed in 1928 as the Doral Park Avenue Hotel, introducing a residential approach to hospitality inspired by the character and charm of a classic Manhattan townhouse.
The newly opened Park Avenue hotel features 205 guestrooms, each designed with tailored interiors, soft palettes and generous proportions. Designed to feel more like a private home than a traditional hotel, the experience replaces a conventional lobby with interconnected residential‑style spaces, including a foyer, living room and family room.
Sofia L. Vandaele, Regional Director of Operations for Luxury & Lifestyle New York, IHG Hotels & Resorts said: “Kimpton Ashbel is the kind of hotel that feels like a secret key, a personal enclave for those who know where to look. Our intention is for guests to feel as though they are stepping into the home of a stylish New Yorker. An elegant Manhattan socialite and a warm and inviting host.”
“Kimpton Ashbel is a haven for travellers who view luxury not by extravagance, but by the comfort of belonging, the beauty of serenity and the rare feeling of knowing the city before smartphones. Our location is special, for the city, our guests and Kimpton. It was here that Kimpton was first introduced in New York City. Today, still surrounded by storied museums, libraries and homes, we return to offer a timeless hideaway for work, wandering, connection and all the moments in between.
Kimpton Ashbel joins Kimpton’s 85 hotels currently welcoming guests worldwide. Among the newest hotels to the portfolio include Kimpton Mirador Pacific Grove Monterey and Kimpton Miralina Resort & Villas. The brand also boasts 67 hotels in its growing pipeline of properties and destinations. For more information or to book a stay at a Kimpton hotel
