The Best MICHELIN Guide Hotels With Gyms in New York City

Hotel fitness centers used to be limited to a treadmill and a set of free weights. Not anymore, especially at some of our favorite MICHELIN Guide hotels with fitness centers. One hotel’s 60,0000-square foot fitness center has everything from an indoor saltwater lap pool to pampering spa services. Another hotel known for its nightlife shows up with floor-to-ceiling windows framing city views for a particularly inspiring workout. Other spots understand the needs of their guests with 24-hour access and DIY workouts.

Equinox Hotel Hudson Yards
Midtown West

The Equinox brand already owns the high end of New York’s fitness-club scene, and with its entry in the West Side’s vast Hudson Yards development, it’s making a play for the hospitality scene as well. Equinox Hotel Hudson Yards New York City is unrelentingly high-end, with architecture by SOM and interiors by Rockwell Group and Joyce Wang. The rooms and suites are ultra-modern and ultra-luxurious, as is the spa and its vast Equinox-branded health club, complete with Soulcycle franchise. Among its restaurants is Electric Lemon, featuring fresh and inventive mid-Atlantic fare by restaurateur Stephen Starr.

Pendry Manhattan West
Manhattan West

For their first hotel in New York, Pendry — the urban luxury-hotel imprint of the Montage Resorts brand — is staking out new territory. Manhattan West is part of the huge Hudson Yards Redevelopment that’s changed the face of Midtown’s west side, and the Pendry Manhattan West, occupying an undulating glass tower by architects Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, shifts the city’s luxury-hospitality center of gravity a bit further towards the Hudson.

The Standard High Line
Meatpacking District

This Standard hotel looks more or less like a slightly bent UN building on stilts, straddling the High Line, the elevated former railway that’s been turned into lower Manhattan’s new green paradise. Even the interiors feel a bit utopian, decked out in a retro-future style that pays homage to Scandinavian mid-century modernism — a welcome departure from the faux-Romantic grittiness that seems to prevail in the Meatpacking District.

The Times Square EDITION
Midtown

Times Square is arguably the most famous place in America, and its busiest crossroads as well. And to say that it’s stylistically and culturally challenged would be putting it extremely diplomatically. If there’s a hotelier who can make Midtown cool, it’s Ian Schrager, who created Studio 54 and then followed it up with some of the earliest and most iconic boutique hotels in the world. And if you’ve got any doubt, it’ll be dispelled the moment you pass through the doors of The Times Square EDITION.

The Wall Street Hotel
Financial District

Lower Manhattan’s financial district has more to recommend it than you might think, and a hotel like the Wall Street Hotel goes a long way towards illustrating the appeal. The 19th-century Tontine Building stands on the site of a coffee house that was once the home of the stock exchange itself, and after a thorough renovation it’s now home to a 180-room luxury boutique hotel — one that happens to be decorated with Australian Aboriginal art, along with an eclectic range of decorative elements spanning the entire life of this Beaux-Arts classic, from 1855 to the present.
