History
The building at 1414 Avenue of the Americas — Sixth Avenue at West 58th Street — was constructed in 1924, placing it on what was then one of Midtown Manhattan's most commercially active corridors, one block south of Central Park. For most of the twentieth century the structure served as commercial office space in the heart of a neighborhood dense with retail, entertainment, and hospitality. By the time the 1 Hotels brand identified the address as a conversion candidate, the nineteen-story building had already spent a century absorbing the rhythms of the city around it. A renovation program transformed it from a commercial office property into a 229-room hotel, a project completed for 1 Hotels' 2015 opening.
1 Hotel Central Park was among the earliest openings in the 1 Hotels portfolio and has become one of the brand's defining New York addresses. The signature element visible from the street is the three-story living green facade that climbs the lower exterior of the building, a vertical garden that asserts the brand's nature-forward identity against Sixth Avenue's canyon of glass and stone. Inside, reclaimed wood paneling, organic textures, and an emphasis on natural materials carry that same ethos through the lobby, corridors, and guest rooms, which were conceived as a kind of rustic-urban retreat steps from the park.
Jams, the signature restaurant under chef Jonathan Waxman, brings a seasonal California-inflected American menu to the ground floor, making the hotel a dining address in its own right as well as a place to stay. The adjoining Jams Bar extends the experience into evenings. In 2025 the hotel received a Michelin Key, the guide's hotel-specific recognition for exceptional stays, and carries AAA Four Diamond status — two distinctions that reflect the consistency the property has maintained across a decade of operation. For guests arriving by foot from the park, the green wall announces the address before they reach the door.
The setting
The hotel sits on Sixth Avenue in Midtown Manhattan, just south of Central Park and within one of New York’s densest luxury and tourism corridors. Its location is notable for immediate park access and proximity to the city’s major retail, museum, and theater districts.
