Later this year, Hudson Yards will also be home to Edge, the highest outdoor observation deck in the Western Hemisphere. On the subway, travelers can get here via the 7 train or, perhaps better, take an Uber, which will drop you off right out front. The hotel is also a 10-minute walk to New York Penn Station. One upside to the location is that it connects to the High Line, which runs south through Chelsea to the Meatpacking District. It's also still very much in development getting to the hotel both on foot and by car can be impeded by the massive construction zones all over this part of Manhattan. Hudson Yards, and this entire part of the west side, feels far from just about everything you're likely to do. If you're in New York City for a convention at the Javits Center, the Equinox Hotel is extremely convenient, though that's pretty much it. From many public areas, you can admire views of the remaining exposed west side rail yards and the Hudson River beyond. Tucked between 11th Avenue and 33rd Street, the hotel is across from the Vessel, a futuristic Thomas Heatherwick-designed landmark that, in the summer, doubles as the world's most ostentatious workout prop.
The Equinox Hotel is located in the heart of New York City's flashy new Hudson Yards development on the city's far west side, at the coveted 33 Hudson Yards address. That includes access to all the facilities, including a eucalyptus steam room, dry sauna, multiple pools and unlimited fitness classes. Whether booked through an OTA, a luxury hotel program or directly through Equinox, guests essentially receive memberships to the Equinox Hudson Yards fitness center (read: the hotel gym) for the duration of their stay.

EQUINOX HUDSON YARDS SPA CRACKED
But it's also a story about how a wellness powerhouse cracked the code on sleeping in a city that, until now, supposedly never slept - and how much people are willing to pay for the privilege. This is a review of a two-night stay at the flagship Equinox Hotel in New York City. The answer, it turns out, is unequivocally yes. When the 212-room Equinox Hotel began welcoming guests in July, we wondered if people would really want to bed down in a hotel run by a fitness brand. Related: Use your points to book a wellness retreat So, ever since the wellness brand broke ground on its first-ever hotel venture, in Hudson Yards (the largest private real estate development in the history of the country), I've been dreaming of a staycation at this luxury property. I use my membership to take classes at 26 different locations around Manhattan and get access to premium bathrooms and lockers no matter where I am in the city. I've been a devout Equinox member since 2015. (Photo by Melanie Lieberman/The Points Guy)
