Thompson Central Park New York wins when you want a livelier, more approachable hotel with live-jazz programming, multiple casual-to-fine dining options (including the hidden Burger Joint), a rooftop-level enclosed pool, and family-friendly rooms and services. It’s also better if you want on-site fitness classes through exhale and a $25 daily spa/fitness credit included with some bookings.
