Hotel Gansevoort, hotel in New York City
Hotel Gansevoort is a hotel in Manhattan's Meatpacking District, offering loft-style rooms with high ceilings and large windows that face the city and the Hudson River. The building has a rooftop pool that stays open year-round and several dining areas on different floors.
The hotel opened in 2004, at a time when the Meatpacking District was just starting to shift away from its warehouse and meatpacking past. A major renovation in 2021 updated the interiors while keeping the original structure of the building intact.
The rooftop has become a popular spot for weekend brunches and evening gatherings, drawing both hotel guests and locals from the neighborhood. The public spaces feel more like a gallery than a lobby, with large-format works placed where guests naturally pass through.
The hotel sits in the Meatpacking District, within walking distance of the High Line and the Hudson River waterfront. Elevators connect all floors including the rooftop, making it easy to move around the building regardless of mobility needs.
The hotel takes its name from Gansevoort Street, which was itself named after Peter Gansevoort, a general from the American Revolutionary War. This link to early American history sits quietly behind a building that most visitors associate entirely with the neighborhood's recent past.
