Palladium Hotel Group announces it will open Only YOU Hotel New York, marking the lifestyle brand’s first property in the United States, with a scheduled opening in the last quarter of 2026.
The 138-room hotel will be located on West 45th Street in Manhattan, steps from Times Square and a two-minute walk from Broadway, placing it in one of New York City’s busiest tourism and cultural districts. The launch forms part of Palladium’s broader international expansion strategy for the Only YOU Hotels brand.
The New York opening extends a brand previously focused on European destinations and signals Palladium’s intention to compete in the US lifestyle hotel segment. The group positions the project as a strategic move to strengthen brand visibility in a key global city while responding to demand from both leisure and business travelers. Palladium confirms the property will operate under the Only YOU Hotels flag and be fully integrated into its global portfolio.
First US property and design details
Only YOU Hotel New York will feature interiors designed by Spanish designer Lázaro Rosa-Violán, whose work reflects the brand’s established visual identity. Palladium says the design combines contemporary aesthetics, sophistication, and an urban character intended to align with Manhattan’s setting. The hotel will offer 138 rooms across multiple categories, all equipped with modern services and premium amenities.
Juan Serra, General Manager of the Lifestyle and Luxury Business Unit of Palladium Hotel Group, said “The arrival of Only YOU Hotels in the United States marks a milestone in the global expansion of Palladium Hotel Group.” He added, “With this opening in a city as strategic as New York, we reaffirm the brand’s commitment to solid and consistent growth, linked to differentiated offerings connected to each destination.”
Serra said the company aims to deliver a hospitality experience centered on the city itself. “We arrive with the commitment to offer an authentic experience, impeccable service, and a team that will act as a true ambassador for the city, celebrating the vibrant spirit of Manhattan and elevating it through hospitality that puts people and the city at the heart of everything,” he said.
Services, dining, and strategic growth
Palladium states that the hotel’s service model follows the Only YOU Hotels concept, with a focus on flexibility and guest-centered operations. Planned offerings include flexible breakfast and room service options available in guest rooms and shared spaces. The property will also feature a restaurant and cocktail bar designed to serve hotel guests, local residents, and visitors.
The food and beverage venues are positioned as a social hub, combining signature cocktails with dishes inspired by New York and international culinary influences. Palladium says the spaces will be supported by versatile common areas suitable for social gatherings, private meals, and small events. A mezzanine level will include a private meeting room with capacity for 8 to 10 people.
The hotel’s location is designed to support both leisure and corporate travel demand. Palladium highlights proximity to Broadway theaters, Times Square attractions, and transport connections, including access to John F. Kennedy International Airport, LaGuardia Airport, Penn Station, and Grand Central Terminal. The group positions accessibility as a key factor in attracting international and domestic travelers.
The New York opening aligns with Palladium Hotel Group’s strategy to consolidate Only YOU Hotels in high-profile urban destinations. The company says the project strengthens the brand’s positioning as a lifestyle offering linked closely to local culture and prime city locations. Future openings under the Only YOU Hotels brand are planned in Venice and Ibiza, continuing its expansion beyond Spain.
Palladium describes Only YOU Hotel New York as a gathering place intended to connect travelers with the city rather than operate solely as accommodation. With construction and development progressing toward a late-2026 launch, the company frames the opening as a significant step in establishing the brand within the competitive US hotel market.
