The Sherry-Netherland
Opened in 1927 at Fifth Avenue and 59th Street, The Sherry-Netherland remains a rare apartment-like New York luxury hotel where individually decorated rooms overlook Central Park and traditional European-style service still defines the stay.
The Sherry-Netherland occupies one of Manhattan’s most enviable corners at Fifth Avenue and 59th Street, directly opposite Central Park and steps from Madison Avenue shopping. Since 1927, the building has blended hotel accommodations with private residences, giving it a distinctly apartment-house character.
No two guest rooms or suites are exactly alike. Individually selected furniture, marble baths, artwork and residential layouts make the experience feel more personal than a standardized luxury chain, while park-view rooms capture some of the most coveted outlooks in New York.
Many suites include kitchenettes with refrigerators, stovetops and microwaves, reinforcing the sense of living on Fifth Avenue rather than simply visiting. Daily fresh flowers, Louis Sherry chocolates, complimentary sodas and mineral water add small but unusually generous touches.
The hotel’s fitness center is complimentary for guests, but The Sherry does not compete through a large resort-style amenity set. Concierge, valet, elevator attendants and European-style service are the true signature facilities.
The Sherry-Netherland is best for travelers who value discretion, individuality and an unbeatable Central Park address. It feels less like a hotel brand and more like being temporarily admitted to one of Fifth Avenue’s great residential buildings.
