The Best Hotels with Gyms in New York City

A night out in Manhattan can leave you feeling a bit foggy the next day and while a run in Central Park might seem far-fetched, hitting the gym at your hotel may also seem less than appealing. That is unless you’re staying at a place like the Equinox Hotel in Hudson Yards, the brand’s flagship property. Hotel guests get automatic membership to the Equinox Fitness Club for the duration of their stay and can access all the facilities including state-of-the-art fitness equipment, a 25-yard indoor saltwater lap pool, and fitness classes including yoga, HIIT, cycling, strength training, and Pilates. After working out at the gym (at 60,000 sq. ft, it’s the brand’s largest fitness space), pamper yourself at the spa which offers everything from cryotherapy, infrared sauna, NutriDrip IVs, quantum harmonics sessions, massages, acupuncture, body sculpting, and facials. Not to be outdone in the health and wellness department, the hotel’s guestrooms are outfitted with handmade Coco-Mat mattresses with natural linens, blackout curtains, and soundproof walls for a restful sleep—exactly what you need after feeling the burn. The Standard High Line is known for its swinging nightlife, from the glamorous Boom Boom Room to Le Bain, the discotheque on the rooftop. After a night of late libations and excellent people watching, guests can sweat it out the next morning at the gym which offers floor-to-ceiling views of the Hudson River. The gym is also open 24 hours for those guests who may be waking in different time zones. When it opened in 2022, The Wall Street Hotel brought a more opulent feeling to the Financial District’s hotel scene. The 180-room property is a fanciful mix of patterns and colors which attracts a more leisurely traveler than the usual business crowd. While there is no spa on the premises, the gym is a sleek spot to work out with a Mirror for DIY workouts or order a Peloton bike upon request. There’s plenty of other equipment from medicine balls to jump ropes, and it’s open 24 hours so it’s convenient for the business traveler who wants to exercise at the crack of dawn before the markets open or for the tourist who wants to fit in a quick run on the treadmill before dinner.

Equinox Hotel Hudson Yards

Equinox Hotel Hudson Yards
Midtown West

The Equinox brand already owns the high end of New York’s fitness-club scene, and with its entry in the West Side’s vast Hudson Yards development, it’s making a play for the hospitality scene as well. Equinox Hotel Hudson Yards New York City is unrelentingly high-end, with architecture by SOM and interiors by Rockwell Group and Joyce Wang. The rooms and suites are ultra-modern and ultra-luxurious, as is the spa and its vast Equinox-branded health club, complete with Soulcycle franchise. Among its restaurants is Electric Lemon, featuring fresh and inventive mid-Atlantic fare by restaurateur Stephen Starr.

Pendry Manhattan West

Pendry Manhattan West
Manhattan West

For their first hotel in New York, Pendry — the urban luxury-hotel imprint of the Montage Resorts brand — is staking out new territory. Manhattan West is part of the huge Hudson Yards Redevelopment that’s changed the face of Midtown’s west side, and the Pendry Manhattan West, occupying an undulating glass tower by architects Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, shifts the city’s luxury-hospitality center of gravity a bit further towards the Hudson.

The Standard High Line

The Standard High Line
Meatpacking District

This Standard hotel looks more or less like a slightly bent UN building on stilts, straddling the High Line, the elevated former railway that’s been turned into lower Manhattan’s new green paradise. Even the interiors feel a bit utopian, decked out in a retro-future style that pays homage to Scandinavian mid-century modernism — a welcome departure from the faux-Romantic grittiness that seems to prevail in the Meatpacking District.

The Times Square EDITION

The Times Square EDITION
Midtown

Times Square is arguably the most famous place in America, and its busiest crossroads as well. And to say that it’s stylistically and culturally challenged would be putting it extremely diplomatically. If there’s a hotelier who can make Midtown cool, it’s Ian Schrager, who created Studio 54 and then followed it up with some of the earliest and most iconic boutique hotels in the world. And if you’ve got any doubt, it’ll be dispelled the moment you pass through the doors of The Times Square EDITION.

The Wall Street Hotel

The Wall Street Hotel
Financial District

Lower Manhattan’s financial district has more to recommend it than you might think, and a hotel like the Wall Street Hotel goes a long way towards illustrating the appeal. The 19th-century Tontine Building stands on the site of a coffee house that was once the home of the stock exchange itself, and after a thorough renovation it’s now home to a 180-room luxury boutique hotel — one that happens to be decorated with Australian Aboriginal art, along with an eclectic range of decorative elements spanning the entire life of this Beaux-Arts classic, from 1855 to the present.
