About Us
285 Riverside Drive sits on one of Manhattan's most distinctive corridors — where the brownstones stand tall and the river wind carries the sound of the city from a little farther away.
We are not a lobby-full hotel with a key card. We are a small, considered place where every detail is chosen to make your stay feel unhurried and comfortable. The Upper West Side is our neighborhood, and Riverside Park is our backyard.
Rooms & Suites
Every room is furnished with care — clean lines, warm materials, and the kind of quiet that only comes when a place truly wants you to relax.
A thoughtfully appointed room with all the essentials for a restful stay — comfortable bedding, a dedicated workspace, and a private bath.
More space, more light. A sitting area, premium linens, and a larger window that frames the street or the park beyond.
For those who need room to settle in. A separate living space, generous storage, and the kind of window that makes you forget you're in a city.

Location
285 Riverside Drive places you on one of New York's most walkable and well-connected corridors. The Hudson River is a short stroll away, Riverside Park stretches for miles, and the cultural institutions of the UWS are moments from your door.
Guest Experiences
We stayed here for a long weekend and felt like we'd found a secret. The room was quiet, the bed was wonderful, and Riverside Park was right outside. We didn't want to leave.
— Guest from Chicago
I've stayed at hotels all over Manhattan and this is the one I keep coming back to. It doesn't try to be anything it's not — just a clean, comfortable place with real character.
— Regular Visitor, Boston
The location is unbeatable. Walk to the park in the morning, explore the Upper West Side all day, and come back to a room that actually feels like a place to rest.
