Earlier this month, I stayed at the Equinox Hotel in Manhattan's Hudson Yards neighborhood.
The hotel, which focuses on health and wellness, was ranked one of the top 50 in the world.

If you're looking for a place to stay for a night in Manhattan and have an extra $11,000 lying around, look no further than the penthouse at New York City's Equinox Hotel.

The Equinox Hotel, located in Hudson Yards, is a relatively new property offering guests a luxury, health-focused way to travel. With an on-site gym, a year-round outdoor pool, and a high-end restaurant, the hotel aims to give travelers an experience doused in wellness luxury.

Earlier this year, the property landed a spot on the inaugural list of The World's 50 Best Hotels — one of just two US hotels to make the list.

I recently stayed at the hotel, spending the night in one of its "Deluxe City View Guest Rooms." The room typically costs about $995 per night; Business Insider paid a press rate of $495.

The hotel boasts an expansive, 1,500-square-foot penthouse suite for guests looking for something even more upscale. Starting at about $11,000 a night, the room is next-level luxurious.

Take a look inside the penthouse.

Walking into the penthouse, I was immediately surprised by how large it was.

There was a sprawling living room, large enough to throw a party with dozens of guests.

The living room was filled with unique decor and furniture, as well as the largest TV I've seen outside of a movie theater.

The penthouse had windows all along its perimeter, offering sweeping views of Manhattan. Squinting, I could see the Statue of Liberty.

Beyond the living room was a dining room, complete with a table and enough chairs to seat six dinner guests.

Next up was the bedroom, a wide-open space with a fireplace, TV, and a bed with two duvets — so partners don't have to fight over the covers.

The bathroom was enormous, with a full soaking tub in the middle of the room.

There was also a large closet with a vanity.

The penthouse boasted a large fridge, unlike the miniature versions often found in hotel rooms. This one was filled with champagne and wine.

The room had amenities like my suite did, including the fitness equipment.
