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.
