New York-based designer Jeffrey Beers has completed the design for the Park Central Hotel New York. Following an immense multimillion dollar renovation, the hotel property now features newly refurbished guestrooms and will unveil redesigned interiors and public spaces in October.
Beer’s inspiration for the renovation stemmed from the hotel’s surrounding iconic landmarks and celebrated history. Along with 761 guestrooms-decked out in a neutral palette, tufted fabric headboards, and dark-stained millwork details-the hotel includes revamped meeting space, signature restaurant, and bar.
“This was a special project for us,” says Beers, founder of Jeffrey Beers International. “Park Central has a long and distinguished history, and its location at the epicenter of New York City served as a true inspiration. We really viewed this project as a love letter to New York City.”
The property was originally a 1,600-room hotel and was downsized to 1,450 rooms in the 1980s-making it the city’s fifth largest hotel at the time, while operating as the Omni Park Central. By 2004, the hotel had been scaled back to 935 rooms, and it stands today at nearly half the room count of its original incarnation.
