Remember Eloise? Six years old, lived at The Plaza, had zero rules, and unlimited room service? Honestly, she was onto something.
Because living in a hotel, realistically, as an adult, isn’t about skipping school or asking room service for a thousand grapes, just to see if they’ll do it. It’s about having concierge services at your fingertips. It’s about sneaking in a spa treatment without even leaving the building. It’s about trading errands for elevators.
These four NYC homes bring that fantasy to life. Some are the residences of actual hotels. Others are under the same roof, with access to all the perks. All of them let you live like Eloise—just with fewer tantrums and a billing address.
1 Central Park South - Apartment #1801/1901
Where else would we start? The Plaza. This nearly 8,000-square-foot opportunity combines two residences, with sixteen windows overlooking Central Park, a fireplace, and ceiling heights that make a statement. The layout was made for grand living—formal dining room, sweeping entertaining spaces, and a custom stair railing featuring The Plaza’s signature double “PP.”
Residents have access to twice-daily housekeeping, 24-hour room service, butler service, and a world-class concierge. The Palm Court, Champagne Bar, and Rose Club are basically extensions of your living room. There’s also the Guerlain Spa, fitness center, private gardens, and the Warren Tricomi Salon—just an elevator ride away.
20 West 53rd Street - Apartment #22C
Hotel perks are expected at the Baccarat. What’s rare is a one-bedroom that’s been redesigned with over a million dollars in custom upgrades. This 22nd-floor home opens under a Baccarat chandelier and soaring ceilings, with floor-to-ceiling windows and city views from three exposures. The kitchen has been completely reimagined, with top-tier appliances and custom design throughout.
Residents have access to 24-hour in-room dining, multilingual concierge service, valet and limo service, and doormen. Additional amenities include the Grand Salon, featuring a new restaurant by a Michelin-starred and James Beard Award–winning chef, the Petite Salon lounge, Spa de la Mer, the Baccarat Bar, a full fitness center, and a marble-clad pool with cabanas—plus housekeeping, laundry, pressing, tailoring, fresh flowers, chef services, business support, and Baccarat Global Member privileges.
16 West 40th Street - Apartment #19C
Set above the Park Terrace Hotel and designed by award-winning architect David Chipperfield, The Bryant brings hotel-level service to full-time living over Bryant Park. This corner two-bedroom faces south and west, with floor-to-ceiling windows and Empire State Building views from both the living room and primary bedroom.
Residents enjoy a 24-hour attended lobby, fitness center with sauna, and the Terrace Club with fireplace and full bar overlooking Bryant Park, along with a full suite of hotel services including housekeeping and room service.
25 Columbus Circle - Apartment #7273B
This newly renovated duplex in One Central Park, connected to the Mandarin Oriental, sits high above Columbus Circle with over 3,400 square feet and uninterrupted views of Central Park from every room. Custom finishes and a serpentine walnut staircase set the tone from the moment you enter.
One Central Park is a white-glove condominium with a 24-hour doorman and concierge, on-site parking, a roof deck, screening room, children’s playroom, fitness center, and event spaces. Residents also enjoy access to the Mandarin Oriental’s spa, health club, and indoor pool—just a few floors away. Not technically part of the hotel, but close enough to count. A smart option for those who want luxury without feeling like they’re living in a hotel.
