The Andaz 5th Avenue, located in the heart of Midtown Manhattan across from the New York Public Library, is a World of Hyatt Category 6 property meaning free nights start at 25,000 Hyatt points per night.

The hotel’s dining options include TBD Downstairs which serves breakfast and lunch daily, and brunch on the weekends, and is then transformed into The Bar Downstairs, now in its 8th year, serving cocktails and tapas nightly Monday-Saturday and reservations are encouraged.

The hotel was hosting a Mid-Summer Soirée, so I was pleased to attend to try their latest offerings.

Enter the Kaleidoscope

Andaz 5th Avene presents ‘Enter The Kaleidoscope’, an art installation created by Wild Flag Studios that invites hotel guests and members of the public to experience the Andaz brand through unique interactive sculptures. Triggered by the presence of the observer, the wheel reflects shapes and patterns into multi surface mirrors. The result is a brand experience that fuses art, design, and engineering to create an art piece that illustrates the visual identity and core ethos of Andaz 5th Avenue through the dynamic lens of a kaleidoscope.

Check out some of the other Andaz events including The Bar Downstairs at Andaz 5th Avenue Spring Mixology, Hyatt’s VIP Celebration for their New Andaz Properties, and the Andaz Scottsdale Opening Party and Review.
