Clothing: layers and smart-casual options
New York weather changes by season and often by hour; plan lightweight layers in spring/fall, warm coats and gloves in winter, and breathable fabrics in summer. Pack a compact umbrella — spring showers are common.
The Living Room Restaurant & Bar lists a Smart Casual dress code for dinner, so bring at least one dressier outfit (collared shirt or blouse, dress/slacks, smart shoes). Business or event guests may want a blazer or suit for evening functions.
- Light jacket, sweater or cardigan for layering
- One smart-casual outfit for dinner or events
- Comfortable shoes for walking the city (sneakers or low-heeled shoes)
- Compact travel umbrella
| Season | Key clothing |
|---|---|
| Spring / Fall | Layers, light jacket, water-resistant shoes |
| Summer | Breathable fabrics, sun hat, sandals |
| Winter | Warm coat, gloves, hat, insulated boots |
Pool, spa and wellness basics
For access to the 25th‑floor saltwater lap pool and Spa Nalai, bring a swimsuit, flip-flops or pool slides, and a quick-dry cover-up. The pool has set hours and a lifeguard on site.
If you plan spa treatments at Spa Nalai or to use the steam room and hot tub, pack a robe and slippers if you prefer your own — the spa provides amenities, but some guests prefer personal items for hygiene and comfort.
- Swimsuit and pool slides
- Light robe or cover-up
- Waterproof bag for wet items
- Any preferred personal spa items (hair tie, sandals)

Toiletries, medications and in-room comforts
Standard guest rooms include designer bath amenities, but bring any prescription medications, preferred toiletries, and allergy remedies you rely on. Hotel rooms offer complimentary in-room WiFi for devices.
If you prefer specific sleep items, pack a travel pillow, earplugs, or a sleep mask — many rooms include a sleep mask, but personal items can improve rest after long travel.
- Prescription meds, pain relievers, allergy meds
- Toothbrush, toothpaste, deodorant, travel-size toiletries
- Sleep mask, earplugs, travel pillow
- Portable phone charger / power bank

Pack chargers and adapters for phones, tablets, and laptops to use the complimentary in-room WiFi and stay connected. Bring printed or digital copies of your reservation and ID for check-in; a credit card in the primary guest’s name is commonly requested.

Shoes and city walking essentials
Pack comfortable, broken-in shoes for walking—Midtown is very walkable and you’ll likely spend hours on pavement visiting nearby cultural sites like Carnegie Hall, Central Park, MoMA and Rockefeller Center.
A small daypack or crossbody bag is useful for subway trips, keeping tickets, a water bottle, and essentials close at hand.
- Comfortable walking shoes or sneakers
- One pair of dress shoes for evenings

- Packing cubes or organizers
- Luggage scale for returns with purchases
- A light sweater for open-plan suites where temperature can vary
