Every hotel on this list earned its spot because the gym is a real draw, not a treadmill tucked into a storage room. Selection prioritized verified gym quality and size first, then sustainability credentials, then star rating. All five properties were confirmed operating under their stated names and brands as of early 2026.
How we ranked hotels with gyms in NYC
Gym quality drove every ranking decision here. A hotel with a 10,000-square-foot fitness floor beats a five-star property with four cardio machines every time. Within the same quality tier, hotels with verified sustainability credentials ranked higher. Star rating broke ties after that, and alphabetical order settled anything left over.
We cross-referenced each gym's features against publicly documented property details, brand fitness program pages, and verified guest reports as of 2026. If a feature couldn't be confirmed, it didn't make the amenities list.

Before you book: gym access details worth checking
- Equinox Hotel guests get full access to the Equinox Hudson Yards club, but confirm whether your rate includes this or charges a daily fee.
- The Peninsula's fitness center hours can vary around major holidays — call ahead if you plan early-morning workouts.
- 1 Hotel Central Park's Bamford Wellness Spa treatments require advance booking, especially on weekends.
- EVEN Hotel's fitness studio is open 24 hours, which matters if your schedule runs early or late.
- Arlo Midtown's gym is compact — if you need squat racks or a full weight room, it won't meet that need.
