THE PLACES / THE USEFUL DETAILS
The choices, close up.
Official specifications checked November 1, 2026. Room photographs illustrate particular categories, not every room or a guaranteed view.
Central Park South, Manhattan, New York
Park Lane New York
- Central Park South between Fifth and Sixth Avenues.
- Room categories distinguish city views from park views; do not assume every room faces the park.
- Two-queen rooms and connecting rooms are offered.
Before choosing. Families should reserve a category with the required occupancy or confirmed connections, not rely on an extra bed. Confirm mandatory destination fees and the exact view category.

Tribeca, New York City, New York
Fouquet’s New York
- Located at 456 Greenwich Street in Tribeca.
- 97 rooms and suites, with interiors by Martin Brudnizki.
- Brasserie Fouquet’s, Titsou Bar, Élysée’s and seasonal Le Vaux rooftop are listed on the official page.
Before choosing. Tribeca suits a downtown itinerary; it is not a Central Park-front location. Reserve spa and dining separately and confirm whether facilities are included in your particular booking.

The details that
change the decision.
01The better choice follows your itinerary
Park Lane places you on Central Park South, useful when park walks and Midtown plans lead the trip. Fouquet’s is in Tribeca, better aligned with a downtown itinerary. Neither location eliminates travel across Manhattan; map the places you actually want to visit before paying for a view you may barely use.
02A view is a room category
Park Lane lists city-view and park-view categories. Reserve the category that promises the view you want. Fouquet’s offers varied rooms and suites with its pastel, Art Deco-inspired interiors; the visual appeal is a different kind of benefit from a Central Park outlook.
03For a family or a spa weekend
Park Lane offers connecting rooms but no rollaway beds and no on-site spa. Fouquet’s has a spa with treatments available to hotel guests and visitors. Confirm treatment and facility access, ages and hours separately; do not assume that a room rate includes every wellness service.
