New York State, where river, mountain and metropolis converge

New York State stretches from Atlantic harbor to northern mountain range, from vineyard-lined valleys to the Canadian border. The Hudson River cuts a defined corridor through the state before meeting the ocean at Manhattan’s southern tip. Inland, forests, lakes, and waterfalls shape a quieter geography, while the southeastern edge rises vertically along Central Park and Fifth Avenue. Within this layered landscape, Fairmont’s presence is anchored in Manhattan at one of the state’s most recognized intersections.

  • New York City

    Manhattan rises from the tidal waters of the Hudson and East Rivers in sharp vertical lines, its iconic skyline defined by towering skyscrapers and a rigid street grid that stretches northward through the heart of New York City. At the city's center, Central Park interrupts the urban density with 843 acres of open green space, where steel, glass, and stone give way to tree canopies, winding paths, and quiet landscapes just steps from the bustling streets. At the southeast corner of Central Park, The Plaza Hotel anchors one of the most iconic intersections in Manhattan — a landmark address at the crossroads of Fifth Avenue and Central Park South, where timeless New York elegance meets the energy of the city.
