Indulge at Park Lane New York, a 47-story luxury hotel located on Central Park South with panoramic views of the park. Our reimagined design honors the original spirit of the building with a renewed, whimsical charm. Join us, and find something beautiful and new, and, just maybe, the right amount of mischief. Color, light, textures, art. Some events call for spaces that are beyond the ordinary. From an iconic ballroom with its own outdoor terrace to a grand room with a wall of floor-to-ceiling windows, the romantic interior of Rose Lane to stunning 47th-floor views of Central Park. The deep saturated tones and staggeringly stylish interiors by Yabu Pushelberg add more than character to events, they lend a near editorial quality to them. Park Lane is whimsical and warm, inviting and luxurious, but not in a way that takes itself too seriously.

Drive onto our grounds and be immediately transported to your own enchanting historical Georgian estate – with views of Long Island Sound – nestled on 55 sprawling acres of magnificently manicured lawns. At the turn of the 20th century, scores of wealthy Americans seeking a retreat from urban industrial life built grand country estates for themselves. These magnificent mansions were modeled after the popular Georgian architectural style, with its symmetrical design, classic proportions, and decorative elements. They were also surrounded by acres of landscaped grounds, modeled after English country houses. The North Shore of Long Island was a popular location for the country estates of wealthy New Yorkers, and was subsequently dubbed, the Gold Coast. Today, The Mansion at Glen Cove has 187 guest rooms and suites and a new Wellness wing. We offer a diverse range of spaces within our mansion that can be tailored to suit your specific requirements.
