A closer look at Equinox Hotel New York

A hotel at Hudson Yards in New York City, run by Equinox Hotels. The room count is not recorded here. This record entered the index through Girls Who Eat's non-toxic travel coverage, which draws on that publication's own criteria and on what properties supplied or published, so every line below carries the tier a third-party report earns. Two pathways have a row, Materials and Textiles and Water Integrity. The other six have not been researched yet.

The property's own pages list barrel saunas at the Equinox Club, and its FAQ states that the outdoor pool serves as a cold plunge for the winter season and that the hotel is pet friendly. Girls Who Eat gives the hotel its Conscious rating, recorded here as a held rating that moves no score.

What this property publishes, area by area

All eight areas, for every record. Each row opens to what was published, where we read it and when.

Publishing something is not the same as it being good. Every line below was read and placed by a person, not scored by a machine. What each rung means

Named means the property published something you can look up: a brand, a product or a number. Stated means it says so with nothing behind it. Not published means we looked and found nothing, which is a gap in our reading and not an answer about the building.

Air EcologyNo evidence recordedNothing found yet

The air in a closed room is what you breathe for eight hours. What decides it is the filter grade, the fresh air rate, and whether damp has ever been looked for.

We found nothing published on this. That is a gap in what we could read, not a finding about the building.

What to ask them
  • What filter grade is fitted to guest room air handling, for example MERV 13 or HEPA H13?
  • What is the fresh air supply rate per person in a guest room?
  • Are carbon dioxide, particulate or volatile organic compound levels measured, and are the readings published?
  • Is there a mould inspection and remediation protocol, and when was it last run?
  • Are there gas cooktops, fireplaces or other combustion sources inside guest rooms?
Water Integrity1 source notePublished or supplied

You drink it, cook with it and stand under it. What is in it depends on the source and on what, if anything, filters it, and both are things a property can name.

The rooftop pool's treatment is named, saltwater, and rooms carry refillable PATH water bottles, a named brand.

In their words

refillable PATH water bottles in every room, and a rooftop saltwater pool

What to ask them
  • What is the water source, and what treatment is applied before it reaches a guest room?
  • Is there a published contaminant test panel, and which laboratory ran it?
  • Is shower and bath water filtered, and to what specification?
  • How are pools and spas sanitised, and is the chemistry published?
  • How is drinking water delivered, and is it treated on site?
Light RhythmNo evidence recordedNothing found yet

Light is what tells a body the time of day. The part a building controls is what its fittings emit and when, which a named product or a colour temperature makes checkable.

We found nothing published on this. That is a gap in what we could read, not a finding about the building.

What to ask them
  • Is guest room lighting tunable or circadian, and what specification is published?
  • What colour temperatures are used in the evening, and are fixtures flicker free?
  • Do sleeping areas have full blackout, and is it specified?
  • What daylight access does a typical room have?
  • Is exterior lighting shielded or reduced overnight?
EMF HarmonyNo evidence recordedNothing found yet

Wiring, routers and devices put electromagnetic fields in a room. What a building decides is where they sit relative to the bed, and whether anyone has measured it.

We found nothing published on this. That is a gap in what we could read, not a finding about the building.

What to ask them
  • Are guest rooms wired for data, or is access wireless only?
  • Where are wireless access points and smart meters placed relative to the bed?
  • Have field levels been measured in sleeping areas, and by whom?
  • Can a guest have wireless disabled in their room on request?
  • Is any shielded cabling or shielding material specified in the build?
Materials and Textiles1 source notePublished or supplied

The things you sleep on and touch: the mattress, the sheets, the pillows, and the paints, glues and finishes around them. A named fabric, a fibre content or a certification can be looked up. A structural palette tells you about the building, not about the bed.

The linens are specified, 400-thread-count cotton percale, and the building is reported to carry no artificial scent anywhere.

In their words

There's no artificial scent anywhere in the building, 400-thread-count cotton percale linens

What to ask them
  • What are the mattresses made of, and are they treated with flame retardants?
  • What is the fibre content of the linen, and is it certified, for example to GOTS or OEKO TEX?
  • Which paints, adhesives and sealants were specified, and are they low emission?
  • What cleaning and laundry products are used, and is the list published?
  • Are there named low emission certifications on the flooring or joinery?
Food and KitchenNo evidence recordedNothing found yet

What a kitchen cooks with and where it buys are the parts of a stay you take inside you. A named oil, a named supplier or a published share is checkable; “healthy” is not.

We found nothing published on this. That is a gap in what we could read, not a finding about the building.

What to ask them
  • What share of produce is grown on site or sourced locally, and is it verified?
  • Which cooking oils are used, and is the policy published?
  • What cookware is used in the kitchen?
  • Is kitchen and ice water filtered, and to what specification?
  • Is there a published position on additives, preservatives or allergens?
Biophilic and Healing DesignNo evidence recordedNothing found yet

Daylight, planting, outlook and the way a room meets the outside are what make a place feel the way it does. Named design decisions can be checked; atmosphere cannot.

We found nothing published on this. That is a gap in what we could read, not a finding about the building.

What to ask them
  • Does every guest room have direct outdoor access or an operable opening?
  • What is the published design intent behind the natural materials used?
  • What are the typical ceiling heights and room volumes?
  • Was the landscape designed with native planting, and is the palette published?
Sound and Sensory EcologyNo evidence recordedNothing found yet

What you can hear at three in the morning decides whether you slept. Insulation, plant and machinery, and what sits next door are what decide it.

We found nothing published on this. That is a gap in what we could read, not a finding about the building.

What to ask them
  • What is the measured background noise level in a guest room at night?
  • What acoustic separation is specified between adjoining keys?
  • How loud is the guest room air conditioning at its lowest setting?
  • Is fragrance diffused into guest rooms or public areas, and can it be declined?

Not everything is published, and an empty row is a gap in what we could read rather than a fault in the building. If one of these matters to you, ask the property before you book. Send us something that updates this record
