Five Ultra Luxe Amenities Only The Most Lavish NYC Condos Offer

New York City Living

The most luxurious, most high-end, most upscale condos and apartments in New York City offer amenities you simply will not find in any other building. They’re elaborate. They’re over-the-top. They’re the kind of apartment buildings and condo buildings reserved for the most exclusive residents; the wealthiest of the wealthiest, if you will. These are not apartments you’ll find just a doorman and a gym in. These are apartments with amenities so luxurious and so upscale that it’s almost difficult to believe they’re even real, or that they even exist. Rest assured that these amenities are real, but most of us will never get to experience anything like them. These are for the ultra-wealthy; not just the upper class.

Private Housekeeping

If you choose to live in the high-end Residences at the Mandarin Oriental, you’re choosing to live your life both as a resident and as a hotel guest. These residences are permanent and available for purchase, and they come with all the modern amenities that hotel guests are fortunate enough to live with every single day. You’ll have private housekeeping from hotel staff if you choose not to make your own bed or clean your own bathrooms. In addition, room service and a personal concierge are available at all times.

Private DryBar

It’s not open yet, but the private residences at 111 Murray Street in TriBeCa are sure to have the best hair of anyone else in New York City. Forget a private hairstylist; this building offers residents a private DryBar where you can go get your hair blown out and never worry about too many people coming in off the streets. It’s for residents only, and it’s one-of-a-kind.

A Sky Garage

If you love the idea of parking your own car and not worrying about finding a parking space of a garage in New York City, then 200 Eleventh Avenue is the address for you. This building in West Chelsea not only has the most magnificent views of the Hudson River, it also allows residents to drive their vehicles into the building into the sky garage. It’s an elevator that takes both you and your car up to your home. Now that’s an amenity.

Smartphone Condos

Those who reside at the fairly new Baccarat Hotel and Residences in New York City are fortunate enough to not have to handle most of the day-to-day work at home. For one, the entire residence is given their own choice of special room service, maintenance service and maid service at your call. Want your bed made and your house cleaned while you work out? Just call the service. The best part, though, is that every condo is operated with a Crestron system so that you can open your window shades, adjust the heat and air and have the music waiting for you before you even leave the office. Each unit also comes with a Baccarat Chandelier.

Private Wine Cellar Storage

At 35XV, you’re not only going to enjoy all the modern amenities of upscale condo living in the city such as a private gym, private concierge and everything else that you might get in an apartment. You also get your own wine cellar. This professional cellar provides space for every residence so that you may store your expensive bottles at all times.
