One of the easier ways to get keys to New York City’s only private park, besides owning property in Gramercy, is checking into the hotel and borrowing the key. That is, if you can leave the luxury of your room! Art by Andy Warhol, imported Italian sheets and food from Danny Meyer’s Maialino are just a few other perks during your stay at this classic NYC destination.

Conrad New York

Riverview-Room-Eve-1024x685

This certified green-building hotel in Battery Park City offers the ultimate lower Mahattan getaway. Check in for a 24-hour fitness center, barber shop and manicurist, dining at ATRIO, as well as a trendy rooftop bar, Loopy Doopy known for its boozy popsicles in prosecco. The building is also home to plenty of shopping, a Regal Cinema, and a Shake Shack, so leaving the property during your staycation is totally unnecessary.
