Hotels and spas typically come to mind when thinking of luxurious new york, spacious bathrooms with high-end design elements and captivating views. Several developers, however, have taken into account residents’ desire for a spa-like sanctuary in their own home. Below, I’ve included a round-up of new developments offering residents their own private oasis with sweeping city views.
Flatiron House
Flatiron House comprises two distinct buildings connected by a shared interior garden with a total of 44 residences. With architecture and interiors by COOKFOX Architects, a leader in biophilic design, the development utilizes a number of guiding principles that promote health, wellbeing, and indoor-outdoor living. In Residence #21A, a five-fixture windowed primary bathroom boasts views of the Empire State Building and north and west Manhattan. The primary bathroom features a customer vanity, heated marble floors, a 6’ Kohler bathtub, a glass-enclosed shower, and a water closet by Toto. Two secondary bedrooms, both facing north and west and offering Empire State Building views are finished with limestone flooring, Ann Sacks textured ceramic tiles, custom vanity, Duravit shower/tub, and water closet by Toto.
Sutton Tower
Designed by renowned Danish architectural designer Thomas Juul-Hansen, Sutton Tower is the only new development tower in the highly desirable enclave of Sutton Place, offering exceptional views and an amenity-rich lifestyle. Each of the one- to five- bedroom residences host stunning bathrooms designed to feel like a luxurious spa, with marble walls and floors and Italian custom-crafted lacquer vanities with sinks carved from a single block of Bianco Dolomiti, many with heated floors and Laufen soaking tubs. Penthouse 47 encompasses the entire 47th floor hosting 360 degree views of the Manhattan skyline. From the powder room, you can spot both the Chrysler Building and the Empire State Building.

Penthouse A is a sprawling three-bedroom, three-and-a-half bathroom corner residence that is perched on 11 Hoyt’s highest floor: a one-of-a-kind residence centered on a spacious corner living and dining room that is ideal for entertaining, relaxing, and everyday living while offering soaring ceilings, stunning southern and western views that incorporate the tranquil tree-lined streets of brownstone Brooklyn, the Verrazano Narrows Bridge, lower Manhattan and the ocean beyond. The primary bedroom suite features two separate walk-in closets and windowed five-fixture ensuite marble primary bathroom with double vanity, two-person stall shower with built-in bench, and sculptural deep soaking tub.
