A landmark building on Fifth Avenue since 1904, The Peninsula New York has announced the completion of a comprehensive interior design refurbishment, debuting a refresh of 219 guestrooms and suites, alongside public spaces and select dining venues. Led by New York City-based Bill Rooney Studio, the refurbishment, which commenced in January, includes the hotel’s lobby, accommodations, reception, Palm Court and the updated rooftop lounge, Pen Top.

Upon arrival, guests are welcomed into The Grand Entrance with a chandelier overlooking the double-height entry Lobby with a marble double-staircase. The reception space and concierge desk have been redesigned.

The hotel’s atrium, Palm Court, will sport a newly commissioned triptych by contemporary artist Ricardo Mazal.

Additionally, The Peninsula New York’s refreshed guestrooms and suites now have a light color palette, contemporary furnishings and lighting, and a selection of artworks, objets d’art and books. The hotel’s guestrooms have also been updated with high-tech conveniences such as touch-screen tablets offering six languages, bedside panels for ease of controlling temperature and lighting, and more.
