Andaz 5th Avenue, NYC
Andaz 5th Avenue, Entrance
The Andaz brand is Hyatt’s newest, offering travelers an alternative to classic luxury. While some may dub the new brand as Hyatt’s “W Hotel” alternative, we think it’s totally different, and in ways that you’ll really like.
Don’t get us wrong, we admire the W Brand in many ways, but Andaz takes a fresh take on modern luxury, without the hype of loud nightclubs and sometimes attitude laden staff.
Our editors got a first look at Andaz 5th Avenue recently, including an introduction to their on property restaurant: “The Shop”. Wow was the overwhelming sentiment (a rare one from our sometimes picky editorial staff) The Shop features a casual yet elegant setting on 5th Avenue with an open kitchen format and a fun yet relaxed atmosphere. “The Bar Downstairs” (that’s literally its name, honest) is definitely a must visit. The cooking continues downstairs in perhaps an even more casual setting, and the list of unique cocktail offerings is nothing short of amazing. Try the Velvet Spice: a mixture of Sailor Jerry Spice Rum, Punt e mes, Velvet Falernum and House Orange Bitters… tasty!
