I stayed at NYAC on the Labor Day holiday weekend, and surprisingly, even with the residential side of the club booked out, most recreational and sports activities were closed. Even the swimming pool was closed. There I was, thinking I was going to have a massively sporting weekend! Note to self: Remember that Labor Day weekend is a big holiday her...
Entry at NYAC means you’d better have the right credentials; otherwise, you won’t even get a ride through the impressive, whirly, brass revolving doors. Once they have assessed you as legit, you will be welcomed with all the formal pleasantries and ‘Ma’am’greetings as if they have royalty arriving. If you are anything like me, this will have you lo...
I arrive early as I’m off to meet a fellow blogger for Brunch. ‘Ma’am’ is invited to leave her overnight bag in the cloakroom and to enjoy a coffee and a newspaper in the Communications Room. The Comms room is one of the few places where phones and computers can be used within the building and is an impressive business centre. Carol, my Blogger fri...
I return at 4 pm, having had a wonderful time wandering the local area. It’s early days, but I’m already impressed with the shopping and museums within walking distance. My room is ready and I’m given a key, collect my bags, and set off exploring. I would have loved a tour of the Club, but as I mentioned, this is a holiday weekend, and there is a s...
Walking into room 1616 is a silent fist-pump moment. I like it. The styling is classically simple, not at all ostentatious, but with a relaxing vibe. They talk about it being a ‘home away from home”experience, and they’ve nailed it. My tip is to book early and request a newly renovated room, preferably facing Central Park. The room is spacious comp...
The bathroom is basic but adequate. The toilet, wash basin, and simple shower are all enhanced by the Molton Brown toiletries.
August 2024 We booked a suite that offered a king bed, a living area with a sofa bed, an ensuite bathroom, and a dressing room. At 450 sq. ft., it was a generous-sized room for New York. The room was extremely comfortable, with high-quality, if a tad old-fashioned, furnishings. The bathroom with a shower over the bath was rather tired-looking. As w...
A stroll around the ornate 24-story club on the plush carpets, under huge chandeliers, past the winged-foot statue and glass-front closets stacked full of silver cups and trophies will surely impress. I find plenty of rooms set up for different activities, such as chess, backgammon, bridge, pool, and snooker tables.
Is there a better location in all of New York City? I loved it here. With Central Park across the road, I enjoyed a cycle ride around its vast city lungs the following morning. Walking is one of the best ways to navigate the city. A stroll down the nearby 5th Avenue is a wonderful way to enjoy some shopping.
The staff are discrete. They are not trained with the out-there, whoop, whoop ‘Welcome to America’ style I’ve received at some US hotel check-ins. However, other than the reception and concierge staff, there was not much opportunity to meet other staff members on holiday weekends. Apart from one doorman who had the job of informing me that I’d brok...
The New York Athletic Club was founded in 1868 in order to bring structure to the nascent world of amateur sport. In its journey through the ensuing decades, the NYAC has evolved to become an athletic powerhouse, globally renowned in sports such as wrestling, fencing, judo, water polo, rowing and track and field.
The New York Athletic Club, 180 Central Park Avenue South, is THEE best private club in NYC... We've stayed on several occasions, enjoying breakfast, lunch and dinners, exercise sessions, swims, attending Broadway shows, Carnegie Hall and thoroughly have enjoyed the staff, facilities and location.
