NEW YORK CITY The Setai Fifth Avenue, managed by Capella Hotels and Resorts, is now open in the heart of Midtown Manhattan.
The new 214-key hotel boasts some of the most spacious guestrooms in Manhattan—most are 700 sq. ft. or larger—along with a new restaurant from acclaimed Chef Michael White called Ai Fiori. Other amenities include a Julien Farel Salon, an Auriga spa, a fitness center, meeting space and a street-level pub called Bar on Fifth.
The property is Capella’s seventh and its second in North America, joining Capella Telluride, Colorado.
Guestrooms feature Duxiana beds, Pratesi linens and custom-built desks. Expansive, faceted windows project onto the street, flooding the rooms with natural light, while a touch of a button draws drapes closed for privacy. Baths are clad in stone and walnut veneer, with deep-soaking tubs by Zuma, rain showers and televisions inset into the bathroom mirrors.
The hotel’s 54 suites each have a separate bedroom and living room. Furnished kitchens feature full-sized refrigerators, stoves and appliances by Miele. There are also three two-bedroom penthouse suites.
Designed by Gwathmey Siegel & Associates, The Setai Fifth Avenue hotel shares its 60-story tower with The Setai Fifth Avenue Residences, a luxury condominium by developer Bizzi & Partners and designed by DAS Concepts Inc.
