Pendry Manhattan West: Manhattan West undulating glass palace with Zou Zou's, Chez Zou terrace, and Gachot Studios design

Rising with striking architectural fluidity and undulating glass ribbons along West 33rd Street in the vibrant Manhattan West development between Hudson Yards and Chelsea in New York City, United States (just steps from the High Line, The Shed, Penn Station, and Madison Square Garden, 30 minutes from LaGuardia Airport and 40 minutes from JFK Airport), Pendry Manhattan West opened in 2021 as New York’s premier luxury lifestyle design grand palace (part of Montage International). Masterfully designed by celebrated architecture firm Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM) with warm California-modernist interiors by Gachot Studios, the 164-room luxury haven combines sleek curvilinear floor-to-ceiling glass, warm timber paneling, and curated contemporary art. Featuring the acclaimed Eastern Mediterranean dining institution Zou Zou’s by Chef Madeline Sperling, the glamorous rooftop cocktail oasis Chez Zou, the cozy Garden Room lounge, and a 24-hour Movement Studio with Peloton and Technogym equipment, this property is Manhattan’s ultimate luxury grand palace.

Arrival introduces travelers to unvarnished West Side glamour and New York capital splendour: liveried doormen greet guests beneath the undulating glass canopy on 33rd Street before entering Gachot Studios’ glowing travertine lobby with hand-carved walnut boiserie, brass lighting, and chilled New York sparkling cider with warm sesame flatbread bites. Day-one logistics focus on coordinating bespoke Manhattan art, High Line, and theater pursuits: walking two blocks to stroll the elevated greenery of the High Line down to the Meatpacking District and Whitney Museum (steps away), private guided tours of the cultural institutions at The Shed and Hudson Yards (5 minutes away), attending an evening concert or sports game at Madison Square Garden (5 minutes away), working out in the 24-hour state-of-the-art Movement Studio with Pelotons, indulging in private in-room wellness therapies, sipping craft cocktails on the outdoor terrace of Chez Zou, and reserving dinner at Zou Zou’s.

Palace living balances active New York urban discovery with serene California-modernist wellness: The In-Room Wellness Retreat features private luxury massage treatments, aromatherapy, and a 24-hour state-of-the-art Movement Studio. Dining is an extraordinary Eastern Mediterranean culinary summit: vibrant wood-fired gastronomy at Zou Zou’s (featuring wood-fired dips, Moroccan lamb shanks, and international Grand Crus), craft cocktails at Chez Zou, artisan coffee in the Garden Room, and 24-hour in-room royal dining.

Accommodations comprise 164 rooms and luxury executive suites styled by Gachot Studios in warm caramel leather, walnut wood paneling, undulating floor-to-ceiling windows, and custom furnishings framing Manhattan West, Hudson Yards, or the Manhattan skyline ranging from 32 to 135 square metres. Each residence features plush king beds with custom linens, and marble bathrooms with deep soaking bathtubs, embedded TV mirrors, and custom MiN New York amenities.
