Plaza Construction is pleased to announce the completion of their work on the Park Lane Hotel, located at 36 Central Park South, New York, NY. Plaza was selected to provide Preconstruction and Construction Management services for the renovation of the hotel, located between 5th and 6th Avenues in midtown Manhattan overlooking Central Park. The hotel was originally designed by the prolific design firm Emery Roth and Sons and constructed in 1971 by the famous New York City Developer Harry Helmsley.
“The Park Lane Hotel is an iconic hotel in New York City,” said Peter J. Hulbert, Plaza’s Executive in Charge of Plaza Construction. “We were honored to work on this project and our talented team did an incredible job.”
PBDW Architect and Yabu Pushelberg Design collaborated to create a new rooftop events venue, lobby bar, canopy covered lounge space on roof setbacks and at grade in Rose Lane along with a complete refurbishment of 610 guestrooms, ballrooms, gym, The Park Room and a restaurant. The north-facing top floors were renovated into presidential suites and a media room with unparalleled views of Central Park.
The rooftop of the 47-story hotel is a brand-new vantage point, Darling, billed as the only rooftop lounge on Billionaires’ Row – a garden oasis serving seafood towers and wine. Inside the hotel, seven different categories offer everything from studio suites with plush seating areas and one-bedroom suites with freestanding soaking tubs to the Belvedere Suite, a two-bedroom penthouse on the 45th floor.
Outside of Darling, new dining locations include Harry’s New York Bar, an intimate space with a decidedly New York theme that serves up a mean martini, oysters, Mediterranean-style octopus and more. Additionally, Rose Lane, an all-day cafe and coffee bar, brings a Parisian flair.
