Editorial take
Who should book Equinox Hotel New York?
If this is your first New York trip, shortlist Equinox Hotel New York for a practical reason: Space, fitness and spa, longer stays, quieter luxury. The name, star rating and lobby photos matter, but the real test is whether the location helps your days feel easier.
It is less compelling if you want broadway on the doorstep or a traditional new york neighbourhood. Before booking from the UK, compare the final price after taxes and property fees, check the exact room setup and make sure your airport arrival route is not needlessly awkward.

Hotel facts
What to know before booking.
First-timer context
Why Equinox Hotel New York might feel special.
What it is known for
- Rooms start at 400 square feet, which is enormous by Manhattan standards, where many central hotel rooms are half that.
- Guests get complimentary access to the 60,000 square foot flagship Equinox club, including an indoor 25-metre saltwater lap pool and an outdoor pool and sundeck.
- Rooms are fitted with medical-grade filtered air and organic COCO-MAT mattresses, part of the hotel's sleep-and-recovery positioning.
New York moments
- The hotel occupies floors 24 to 38 of 35 Hudson Yards and is the flagship of the Equinox hotel brand.
- Electric Lemon, its restaurant and rooftop terrace bar, looks west over the Hudson.
On screen
- Hudson Yards is a recent development, so the appeal here is the building and the views rather than film history.
Review questions
What travellers keep asking.
Are the rooms really bigger than other New York hotels?
Yes, noticeably. A 400 square foot minimum is roughly double what many central Manhattan hotels offer, which is the single strongest reason UK travellers shortlist it.
Is Hudson Yards too far out?
It depends on your plans. The 7 line reaches Times Square quickly, but if most of your itinerary is Broadway, Central Park or downtown, a more central base will save time each day.

Look beyond the nightly rate. Check taxes, destination fees, breakfast and cancellation.
Room layout
For New York, room size, bathroom privacy, bed type and storage can matter more than star rating.
Arrival route
Match the hotel to your airport, luggage and arrival time, especially after an overnight UK flight.
