New York City has welcomed another new Kimpton, and it’s the second to open this year alone. This time, however, it’s on the Big Apple’s glitzy Park Avenue.
Named the Kimpton Ashbel New York —Park Avenue, the IHG One Rewards-Participating property is a townhouse-inspired hotel located in a 1928 building near Grand Central Station. A reinvention of the former 70 Park Avenue hotel, the Beaux-Arts building underwent a massive transformation to set the stage for Kimpton’s accessible and modern brand standards.
At the hotel, 205 rooms, including 14 connecting rooms for families, offer a quiet, homey respite from bustling Midtown. The rooms have a soft, natural-toned color palette that feels more like a chic New York apartment than a hotel room in the heart of the city. For elevated stays, special suites are available, including a spa suite and a 1,300-square-foot penthouse with two living rooms, four bathrooms and two balconies.

Continuing with the hotel’s residential feel, public spaces, including a lobby, living room and family room, invite guests to feel at home in the lobby.
Instead of the traditional hotel restaurant and bar, this new Kimpton offers the Park & Bel Cafe. During the day, the café offers coffee, pastries, sandwiches and other small dishes. In the evenings, the space transforms into a bar with cocktails, beer and wine.

As part of a community-focused hotel brand, Kimpton Ashbel will offer guests free morning coffee and tea as part of the Kimpton Kickstart program. Every night, complimentary beer and wine are offered to guests during Kimpton’s social hour.
“Kimpton Ashbel is the kind of hotel that feels like a secret key, a personal enclave for those who know where to look,” Sofia L. Vandaele, regional director of operations for IHG Luxury & Lifestyle in New York, said in a statement. “Our intention is for guests to feel as if they are entering the home of a stylish New Yorker. An elegant Manhattan socialite and a warm, welcoming host.”
The Kimpton Ashbel joins the imposing Kimpton era Midtown New Yorkwhich opened earlier this year, as well as locations in Times Square and Chelsea.
