Thompson is one of my favorite Hyatt brands. The brand will be continuing its expansion with another property in New York, and it’s an interesting one.

I wonder if they will have room service from Burger Joint. I like their burgers. 🙂
Any updates on what happens with Norma’s, the breakfast restaurant?
I stayed here once in the Starwood days, I like the location and look forward to trying this new iteration.
I have stayed there a few times. The staff were always great. When ever I passed a staff member, be it maintenance person or a manager, they always said hello.
One of the best perks is the pool. It is on the top floor with some great views of the park. Worth a night there in the winter to swim and look out at the park.
At 729 rooms, this should be an Unbound property. I don't see how antagonistic owners can maintain a Thompson vibe.
The pool is really nice at this hotel— not that it’s a nice place to hang out, but it’s always nice to go for a swim in winter and see Central Park
Not trying to be nit picky, but given your comment on the size of the rooms, the two pictures provided are clearly their studio suite rather than standard guest room. It might make sense to adjust the description.
The elevators at this property were a nightmare. Hopefully they've addressed this
That is true. Any time around check out, getting on an elevator would take a while.
Could’ve sworn Burger joint moved out during the pandemic… I work on the block but haven’t been to the office much in the last 15 months until last month ..
Ironically, the Viceroy (located next door to the Parker) took the Le Meridien flag after the Parker exited the system.
729 ROOMS?
no thank you lol. but looks beautiful! ironically enough, there are so many limited options of NYC hotels with direct central park views...and some of them are so random and not the best hotels.
It’s widely known part of the hotel was being converted to condos. Obviously that shrinks the room count. Given it’s widely known it might have been worthy to mention here in all the speculation about room count.
Anyway I loved the old old PM from 20+ years ago. The recent versions have sucked. I bet the Thompson version will be a wonderful place to stay.
I thought Le Meridian and the Parker where two separate hotels. There is still a Le Meridian there. Biggest question is what is gonna happen to the Burger Joint?
Well that answers my question. So the Le Meridian turned into the Parker which is now The Thompson. And the Viceroy is now the Le Meridian. Thx!
So long Parker….. I used to work at Norma’s from spring/summer of 2019 to the beginning of stupid-19 and all the craziness. Seems Norma’s is getting sent to the chopping block unfortunately. I would love to go get a plate of crunchy French toast again.
The Parker’s pool was an awesome selling point! What FOOLS to demolish it ‼️‼️‼️
