The Peninsula New York, Skyscraper on Fifth Avenue and 55th Street, Manhattan, United States

The Peninsula New York rises 23 floors above Manhattan, featuring limestone and granite facades that complement the neighboring University Club architecture.

The building, originally named Gotham Hotel, opened in 1905 under the design of architects Hiss and Weekes before becoming The Peninsula New York in 1988.

The hotel displays neoclassical architectural elements throughout its structure, reflecting early twentieth-century American luxury hotel construction methods and styles.

The establishment contains 241 rooms, three restaurants, and a complete fitness center with a swimming pool located on the twenty-second floor.

The Peninsula New York earned the AAA Five Diamond Award every year since 1999, maintaining its status in Manhattan's luxury hospitality sector.
