Overview
- The 205-room Kimpton Ashbel New York–Park Avenue opened at 70 Park Avenue as part of IHG’s Luxury & Lifestyle portfolio, with 14 connecting rooms for families.
- The hotel occupies a renovated 1928 Beaux‑Arts building first known as the Doral Park Avenue Hotel, with a restored limestone-clad façade and interiors led by Busta Studio.
- The ground floor replaces a traditional lobby with a foyer, living room, and family room framed by preserved columns and windows, with an art program curated by Soho Art Gallery.
- Park & Bel Café serves coffee and baked goods by day and small plates by night, and guests get a roaming bar cart for cocktails along with Kimpton’s complimentary Kickstart and Social hour.
- The Midtown location near Grand Central Terminal and Bryant Park targets business and leisure travelers, and the property becomes Kimpton’s fourth hotel in New York City.
