The 1,500-square-foot Equinox Hotel penthouse.Jordan Parker Erb/Business Insider
- 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.

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.

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