Located on 5th Avenue across from the New York Public Library, Andaz 5th Avenue is a luxury boutique hotel with spacious NYC loft-style rooms and stunning views of midtown Manhattan. Recently, the property announced the debut of seven new Wellness Suites that celebrate the destination with a series of carefully curated partnerships and exclusive amenities centered on health, well-being, and self-care.

The Wellness Suites, which feature views of the Empire State Building, remain true to Andaz’s brand promise of stimulating the senses through local experiences while also providing a safe and healthy environment for guests. The vision for the new suites is focused on three landmarks of wellbeing:

• FEEL (how one feels; emotional + mental well-being)

• FUEL (how one fuels + powers their body, inclusive of things like food and sleep)

• FUNCTION (how one moves + functions in work, life, and play)

FEEL

Innovative Airweave® Mattress: Exclusive to the hotel’s Wellness Suites, each room features this newest innovation in sleep surface technology for deeper more restful sleep. 

• Sleep Science Programming: Enhance the sleep experience with lavender essential oil, sound machine, and literature to promote quality sleep.

• Mindful Meditation: Partnership with Head Space® to provide complimentary, curated mindfulness and sleep exercises and a Tibetan Singing Bowl for meditation.

• Mineral Therapy bath salts to enjoy in the suite’s oversized soaking tub.

• Living Wall by NJ-based Naturalist. Exclusively commissioned living wall art piece to help clean the surrounding air, create a sense of well-being, lower levels of anxiety, increase attentiveness and memory, reduce stress levels, and spark creativity.

FUEL

While each guest room features a complimentary mini-bar that weaves in tastes of the destination, the new Wellness Suite mini-bars received an exclusive refresh, specifically championed by the hotel’s Executive Chef, Christian Clark: 

• Complimentary Wellness Mini-Bar: A Mason Bar (granola bar, made fresh in-house), Collagen Peptide by Vital Proteins, Brooklyn-based FINE AND RAW Dark Chocolate bar, and LesserEvil Coconut Oil Organic Popcorn. Each Suite also has a selection of Harney & Son herbal tea.

• Wellness RX Mini-Bar: Showcases wellness-inspired add-ons that guests can purchase such as Mighty Gum Immunity Gum, HRBLS Wellness Chews, Vitality Collagen Water,  Gwell snack packs that provide stress, energy & immune support, New York-based Jiant Hard Kombucha and Bronx Brewery craft beer.

• The In-room Dining Menu also shares key details with guests ranging from which items are high in vitamin C to those that feature antioxidants. 

FUNCTION

Each room is equipped with the following, which are all available for purchase: 

• Lululemon Mirror® Gym: Complimentary adjustable weights by Flybird®, branded yoga mat and blocks, foam roller and resistance bands to enhance the Mirror® Gym workout experience.

• Wellness Concierge Concept: Need a personal trainer? A new workout top? Suite experience features a new, dedicated wellness concierge service concept to assist guests’ every need. 

“Through a series of carefully hand-selected partnerships we are able to offer our guests new ways to elevate their well-being journey, while increasing exposure for many local brands across the Tri-state area,” says Scott Mason, General Manager of Andaz 5th Avenue. “Seeing the devastation that this pandemic has brought to many of those businesses has made me very proud to represent a brand like Andaz that seeks to continue to support them.”

The Wellness Suite starts at $800 per night. For more information or to book, call 1-844-929-0156 or visit the website. Follow them on Instagram: @andaz5th
