USA - The Ritz-Carlton New York Battery Park

Fotogalerie The Ritz-Carlton New York Battery ParkWhen The Ritz-Carlton New York, Battery Park opened on January 29, 2002, its effect was much greater than was ever imagined by its developers, architects and designers - it provided a timely economic boost to Lower Manhattan and the first visible sign of renewal in a neighborhood that has long held a special place in the hearts of New Yorkers.

Offering striking close-up views of the Statue of Liberty, The Ritz-Carlton New York, Battery Park is perched along the waterfront in Lower Manhattan, just south of Battery Park City. While the Battery Park residential community is relatively new, it lies within an area of significant historical and cultural interest. Abundant landmarks, monuments and museums tell stories about Lower Manhattan's history as a bustling harbor town and as a "first stop" for millions of immigrants to the United States.

It is in this extraordinary location that Ritz-Carlton chose to become the only luxury waterfront hotel in Manhattan. Rising 39 stories above Battery Park, within a stone's throw of Wall Street, this AAA Five Diamond 298-room hotel boasts several other "Big Apple firsts," including an expansive art collection, and award-winning Rise bar and terrace on the 14th floor featuring indoor and outdoor seating areas offering breathtaking views of the New York Harbor and the Statue of Liberty.

Guest Rooms

The hotel's 298 guest rooms, including 39 suites, are appointed with stylish and streamlined fixtures and furnishings in shades of sage, butter cream and beige. The guest rooms' quiet elegance belies a contemporary energy; televisions with remote control, DVD players (in suites and Club rooms), dual-line cordless telephones with voice mail and data line capabilities, wireless and high-speed Internet access and wall unit safes are among the many in-room amenities. Beds are appointed with luxurious Frette linens, feather beds, duvets and goosedown pillows. All luxury bath amenities are Bulgari. Guest rooms overlooking New York Harbor are equipped with high-power telescopes to enhance enjoyment of famous landmarks such as Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty.

Guests of The Ritz-Carlton New York, Battery Park can also indulge in a truly hedonistic luxury - a butler-drawn bath. Serving as an antidote to jet lag, an opportunity for self-indulgence, or a romantic interlude, a customized bath can be selected from an extensive menu of relaxing and revitalizing options and is accompanied by a special food and beverage presentation as well as other bath amenities. Additional services include 24-hour room service, twice-daily housekeeping including turndown, Lower Manhattan complimentary car service, overnight shoeshine, laundry and dry cleaning services, and valet parking. Each morning, complimentary newspapers are delivered to all guest rooms.

The Ritz-Carlton Club Level rooms provide an extra level of comfort and privacy. The Ritz-Carlton Club, an elegant sanctuary often referred to as "a hotel within a hotel", features the services of a dedicated Club concierge and butlers, private check-in and check-out, and five complimentary food and beverage presentations daily. Club guests enjoy wireless laptop access in the Club Lounge as well as in-room DVD players with surround sound system and access to a well-stocked DVD and CD library. Club rooms and suites are accessible only by specially coded elevator key.

Restaurants

Located on the 14th floor is the award-winning Rise bar and terrace, featuring sweeping views of New York Harbor, the Statue of Liberty and the New York skyline. Rise, a dramatic bar with an expansive outdoor waterfront terrace, is an exciting place for cocktails and signature drinks such as the Libertini and PHAT Apple as well as tiers of light bites and a raw bar in the summer.

Chef Jacques Sorci is the hotel's Executive Chef as well as the first chef in The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company, to be honored with the title Maître Cuisinier de France.

An array of flavorful and diverse classic French sauces is presented tableside by the Saucier to bring excitement to prime steaks and Atlantic seafood. 2 West Steakhouse is proud to be one of only three restaurants in New York City to serve the highest grade of beef available anywhere in the United States - Certified Angus Beef Prime.
