The Setai Fifth Avenue Opens in Midtown Manhattan

The hotel features some of the most spacious rooms in Manhattan in a new building that is a striking addition to the New York City skyline. The hotel also features a new restaurant, Ai Fiori, from acclaimed Chef Michael White; a Julien Farel Salon; an Auriga spa; and a new fixture at street level, the Bar on Fifth.

A ribbon-cutting ceremony with city officials and executives of Bizzi & Partners, the Setai Fifth Avenue's developer, as well as executives of Capella Hotels and Resorts, has been scheduled for Nov. 5. Located in the heart of midtown Manhattan at 400 Fifth Ave., between 36th and 37th Streets, The Setai Fifth Avenue features 157 guest rooms that are among the largest in the city (the majority at 700 square feet or larger). In addition, there are 57 suites including three penthouse suites.

The hotel also features an expansive and state-of-the-art fitness center; sophisticated space for executive meetings and social events, and the around-the-clock services distinctive to Capella, including the attention of a Capella personal assistant. Rooms feature Duxiana beds, Pratesi linens, and custom-built desks. Expansive, faceted windows project onto the street, flooding the rooms with natural light, while a touch of a button draws drapes closed for privacy. Baths are decorated in stone and walnut veneer, with deep-soaking tubs by Zuma, rain showers, and televisions inset into the bathroom mirrors.

Fifty-four hotel suites each have a separate bedroom and living room. Furnished kitchens will feature a full-sized refrigerator, stove and appliances by Miele. There will also be three penthouse suites, each one of a kind. Finished in rosewood and white marble with gold veining and textiles in deeper browns and red accents, the 1,900-square-foot suites will feature two bedrooms with the option to connect up to two connecting suites for a total of four bedrooms, three living rooms and four and a half baths.

Spanning the entire fourth floor of The Setai Fifth Avenue, at more than 11,500 square feet, the Auriga spa features 11 private treatment rooms, wet rooms, experiential showers, a vitality pool, sauna, steam room and hammam. The spa also features a Julien Farel Salon, bringing beauty services and French-inspired styling techniques to The Setai Fifth Avenue. Individual men's and women's salons provide private spaces for unparalleled pampering and a full array of beauty and styling services.

Designed by Gwathmey Siegel & Associates, The Setai Fifth Avenue hotel is housed in a 60-story tower with The Setai Fifth Avenue Residences, a luxury condominium by worldwide developer Bizzi & Partners. For more information or reservations, call 877-247-6699 or visit www.setaififthavenue.com
