At the corner of Park Avenue South and East 29th Street, the former Marathon bank building has been razed to make way for a new 249-room hotel - Gansevoort Park Avenue NYC. The hotel's rooftop, like that of Gansevoort Meatpacking NYC, is bound to be one of the most notable in New York. Designed by the Stephen B. Jacobs Group, P.C. and Andi Pepper Interior Design, the handsome 20-story stone, glass, and metal panel building, punctuated by Juliet balconies, will incorporate similar signature design aspects as its sister hotels.  The 40-foot heated indoor/outdoor rooftop pool will be open exclusively to guests during the day, and will transform to one of the city's hot spots of New York nightlife, with its connected tri-level bar, outdoor space, and two hospitality/event suites / VIP lounges. Rooftop pool is open year round. The third floor offers larger banquet and meeting spaces, and exhale Spa will open a location in the hotel, offering its proprietary mind body classes. The ground floor will house both a 10,000 sq. ft. Ristorante Asellina, from The ONE Group, as well as a separate two-story liquor bar, both designed by the award-winning iCrave design firm. The restaurant, with its rich materials of wood, stone, and polished concrete, uses earth-tones, greenery, and fireplaces, to provide a warm, home-like, musically-enhanced environment in which to dine and lounge.  Couches replace banquettes in the main dining area, and provide comfortable and inviting seating in the Living Room lounge.
