Sky-High Entertaining for the Holiday Season

With the holiday season officially underway, I wanted to share a fun and timely round-up of new luxury buildings that offer exceptional dining and entertaining spaces. Holiday entertaining is no easy task and while hosting the party has its benefits (hello never having to leave your home), there are some major drawbacks - namely the pre- and post-event cleanup. 

Fortunately, some of today’s developers are integrating the ultimate solution into their sought-after condominiums: high design dining and entertainment spaces outfitted with top-of-the-line catering kitchens. Available for private parties and reservations, these amenity spaces retain the comfort and ease of remaining in one’s building, without the added stress and hassle of hosting guests in your actual home. Below are some of today’s most luxurious buildings and their dining and entertainment amenity spaces.

200 Amsterdam

At 200 Amsterdam, the recently completed condominium on Manhattan's Upper West Side, residents can host the ultimate holiday feast or soiree in style at The Club at 200 which features a private dining room and lounge ideal for celebration. Designed by CetraRuddy, the inviting space features a dining area, prep kitchen and lounge space with access to the landscaped terrace, perfect for before or after dinner cocktails.

20 East End Avenue

Designed by celebrated architect Robert A.M. Stern, 20 East End Avenue’s club-inspired amenities include an elegant cellar outfitted with a private dining area ideal for intimate holiday gatherings. A round table, fireplace, and vaulted ceilings with exposed beams create an elevated yet rustic aesthetic, while striking sconces imbue a subtle warmth. A chef’s prep kitchen and integrated sound system ensure a pristine entertaining experience.

200 East 59th Street

200 East 59th Street, the modern tower at the intersection of the Upper East Side and Midtown East, is the first condominium to partner with Social Studies, the Gwyneth Paltrow-backed startup that Vogue dubbed "the Rent the Runway of parties." In conjunction with the opening of its elegant residents' lounge and outdoor terrace, 200 East 59th Street is offering upscale party rentals and decor from Social Studies to residents hosting their holiday celebrations at the building. Residents can use Social Studies for events small and large, whether they be in their apartments or 200 East 59th Street’s luxe amenity lounge. They can also gain design inspiration from the communal dining room, which is currently stylized with the “White Out” fall table setting.
