The Ritz-Carlton New York, Central Park’s Club Lounge reopened Sept. 1; the only five-diamond private club lounge in New York City initially opened after a multimillion-dollar hotel renovation in 2019, but its time open was cut short due to the pandemic.

On the hotel’s second floor, boasting views of Central Park, the Club Lounge acts as an intimate space for guests to relax, dine and enjoy exclusive experiences like wine and spirit tastings. At 3,000-plus square feet, the lounge accommodates 50, with décor in shades of green, beige velvet and leather.

 

Along with the re-opening came an exclusive wellness-inspired menu that will rotate daily for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and change seasonally. Complimentary culinary presentations from local producers will be held daily, as will pre-dinner beverages from the Champagne cart and a caviar tasting. There’s also a dedicated on-site concierge and an exclusive hotel partnership with Fifth Avenue Club at Saks Fifth Avenue. Children are permitted in the lounge, which boasts plenty to keep families entertained like games, books, a candy display and the Ritz Kids activity book.

Immerse in an Invigorating Thermal Journey at Scandinave Spa Whistler

The glittering green pines and burst of jasmine lake beyond almost made me forget about the aches in my legs that slowly developed after the promised hour-long hike ran into the third hour. And, oh, there were my hips, showing up to remind me I was no longer in my 20s. I didn’t mind, though, because the vision that surrounded me during our guided walk through Garibaldi Park to Cheakamus Lake in Whistler, British Columbia, with Mountain Skills Academy and Adventures proved worthy of a thousand postcards.

Explore the Beguiling Towns of Sicily’s Val di Noto
