Inside the Iconic Gansevoort Hotel in the Heart of NYC's Trendy Meatpacking District

Anyone looking for that classic, quintessential New York living experience knows that the Meatpacking District is where you need to be.

Known as the trendiest part of town—and a neighborhood that’s been the backdrop for countless iconic film and TV moments (who could forget Samantha’s bold move to the then up-and-coming Meatpacking District in Sex and the City)—this stylish enclave is where cobblestone streets meet designer boutiques, buzzing bars, and rooftop soirées. And right in the square of it all on Ninth Avenue sits the Gansevoort Hotel, a recently revamped hotel hotspot offering the ultimate downtown cool meets luxury getaway.

The Gansevoort has been an icon in Meatpacking since opening in 2004, but in 2021, it underwent a $40 million renovation that took things to a whole new level. Now, it's even sleeker, more stylish, and packed with modern amenities that cater to both the jet-setting traveler and the effortlessly cool New Yorker. From its jaw-dropping rooftop pool to its curated dining experiences and exclusive Seven24 Collective Members Club, Gansevoort isn’t just a place to stay—it’s a Manhattan way of life.

The Meatpacking District’s remarkable transformation from gritty industrial hub to one of New York City’s most sought-after neighborhoods is a story that continues to unfold. Once known for its meatpacking warehouses and bustling factories, the district has evolved into a dynamic blend of old-world charm and modern sophistication.

With the recent departure of the last meatpacking businesses, the area now thrives as a hub of high-end dining, cutting-edge fashion, and a growing art scene, all while retaining its historic character. It’s this fusion of history and modernity that makes the Meatpacking District truly unique—and staying at the Gansevoort places you right at the heart of this cultural crossroads.

Every corner of the neighborhood is steeped in a sense of transformation, from the cobblestone streets lined with contemporary art galleries to the world-class restaurants tucked into what were once warehouses. The Gansevoort Hotel itself plays a pivotal role in this evolution, offering guests the opportunity to explore the district’s past while embracing its future.

The Superior Rooms (250 sq. ft.) are cozy yet chic, with plush queen beds, leather-topped desks, and a bay window sofa perfect for unwinding after a busy day in the city. For a more exclusive experience, the Terrace Rooms (250 sq. ft.) offer private outdoor space, a rare gem in NYC, where you can take in the city's iconic skyline. Deluxe Double Rooms (310 sq. ft.) are ideal for families or groups, featuring two double beds and stunning sunset views.

For a more elevated stay, the Manhattan Suites (500 sq. ft.) come with step-out Juliet balconies, 1.5 bathrooms (complete with a luxurious steam shower!), and a fully stocked minibar—making them the ultimate in urban sophistication. At the top of the hotel, the Poliform Penthouse Suite offers sweeping skyline views and ultra-modern interiors, making it the pinnacle of indulgence.

Wherever you stay, you can expect plush bedding, designer decor, and a vibe that immerses you in the unique energy of New York. Gansevoort truly offers a space that feels like your own personal piece of the Meatpacking District.

What’s a luxury stay in NYC without a rooftop? And even better—a rooftop pool. A rarity in Manhattan and an absolute essential when the New York summer heat kicks in, Gansevoort’s heated rooftop pool & loft bar is the ultimate urban escape. Open year-round, it offers breathtaking views of the Manhattan skyline and Hudson River, making it just as dreamy in the winter as it is in the summer. Whether you’re lounging poolside with a cocktail under the warm summer sun or taking a steamy dip on a crisp winter night, watching the city lights shimmer below, the vibe up here is nothing short of magical.

And when it comes to culinary delights at the Gansevoort, the options are just as enticing.

Le Coin, the hotel’s chic European-inspired café, has recently reopened with a reimagined concept, transforming from its original sports pub roots into a stylish Parisian-style bistro. But don’t worry, the TVs remain, so you can still catch the big game—just in a much more elevated and chic atmosphere. Think buttery croissants and perfectly pulled espresso for brunch, followed by a curated selection of fine wines and craft cocktails as the day unfolds. But the real magic happens once spring hits the city when Le Coin’s outdoor dining becomes the ultimate people-watching spot in Meatpacking. With a cocktail in hand, you can soak in the energy of Meatpacking and the unmistakeable energy of this iconic part of Manhattan.

For a next-level dining experience, head to Saishin, perched at the very top of the hotel. This omakase-style sushi haven is an absolute must for foodies, offering 14- or 19-course tasting menus curated by Executive Chef Isaac Kek.

Whether you’re seated at the intimate chef’s counter, watching sushi magic unfold in real time, or enjoying a hand-selected à la carte menu of sashimi and otsumami, every bite is a work of art with a perfect view of the Manhattan skyline.

With the rooftop pool, prime al fresco dining, and one of the best omakase spots in the city, Gansevoort has every dining experience you could possibly crave covered.

For those who want to take the Gansevoort lifestyle beyond just a weekend stay, the Seven24 Collective Members Club is the ultimate urban playground. Designed for trendsetters, creatives, and power players, this exclusive club unlocks a world of curated events, private venues, and VIP perks throughout the neighborhood.

"We've meticulously designed a unique sanctuary exclusively for our members, distinguishing it as unparalleled among global clubs. Bringing together a diverse array of leaders in art, technology, fashion, and business, we aim to foster the ultimate social and professional community," explain Michael Achenbaum and Sean Largotta, founders of Seven24 Collective.

Members receive priority reservations at Saishin, access to ultra-exclusive rooftop soirées, and personalized concierge services, guaranteeing every NYC experience is truly exceptional.

But the real kicker? DIMES, a hidden, retro ‘70s-inspired speakeasy tucked away beneath the hotel. This members-only hideaway is where the party never stops, with a private karaoke room that’s perfect for belting out your lungs to your favorite song, a two-lane bowling alley for late-night friendly competition, and a shimmering disco ball-lit dance floor that's begging for you to the night away under it.

And when it’s time to trade dancing for deadlines, Seven24 members can slip into the private workspace on the ground floor, a stylish retreat complete with a café and bar—because let’s be honest, a perfectly crafted latte or a post-meeting martini makes every brainstorming session a little more inspired.

With Seven24 Collective, you're not just staying in Meatpacking—you’re living it, owning it, and making it your own.
