As summer winds down, there is something especially appealing about slowing the pace and savoring the final stretch of the season. At ARO, a restorative staycation doesn’t require packing a suitcase or leaving Midtown West. With 40,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor amenities designed for fitness, recreation, entertaining, and relaxation, residents can create an entire day away without ever leaving home.
Start the Morning With Movement
Begin the day at ARO’s state-of-the-art fitness center or dedicated yoga studio, both located within ARO Club 1. The fitness center gives residents space to fit in a full workout, while the yoga studio offers another option for a slower start to the morning.
Having both spaces within the building makes it easy to shape the morning around whatever feels right that day. There is no need to build a workout around travel time or a separate trip across the neighborhood; residents can head downstairs, get moving, and ease into the rest of the day at their own pace.
Afterward, the locker room saunas offer a space to unwind before moving on to the next part of the staycation.
Make the Sky Club the Main Event
Few things say summer quite like an afternoon by the pool, and at the apex of ARO, the exclusive ARO Sky Club offers one of the building’s most standout places to spend it.
The outdoor pool and adjoining lounge create a setting where residents can swim, relax, socialize, or simply take in the views from above. It’s the kind of amenity that makes staying home feel like a destination in itself, especially during the final weeks of summer when an afternoon outdoors still feels worth taking advantage of.
Rather than building the day around reservations, travel time, or a packed itinerary, residents can move at their own pace here. Spend part of the afternoon in the water, take a break in the lounge, and return outside when the sun starts to soften later in the day.
For especially hot or rainy afternoons, ARO also offers an indoor pool within ARO Club 1 – another option without having to leave the building. Together, the indoor and outdoor pool spaces make it easy to shape the day around the weather and whatever feels right.
Slow Down for the Afternoon
A staycation does not have to mean filling every part of the day. ARO’s landscaped garden terraces, Residents Lounge, and Club Room provide a variety of spaces for a quieter afternoon.
Residents can settle in with a book, catch up with friends, or simply spend time outside of their apartment without having to head into the city. Those looking for something more active can also make use of amenities like the basketball court, game room, and golf simulator.
The in-house variety makes it easy to shift between activity and downtime without turning the day into an overstimulating schedule or commute.
Turn the Evening Into an Occasion
As the afternoon gives way to evening, ARO’s amenities also make it easy to transition from relaxing to entertaining.
ARO Club 2 includes an Epicurean Kitchen, offering residents a dedicated space for preparing and sharing a meal with friends. A casual dinner can become the centerpiece of the evening, or residents can keep things simple with drinks on one of ARO’s landscaped garden terraces.
The Sky Club Lounge invites another way to end the day, a comfortable place to gather while taking in twinkling city views.
A Getaway Built Into Everyday Life
The appeal of a staycation is often the chance to step away from routine without the effort of taking a trip. At ARO, this vibe is part of everyday life.
A sense of ease is what defines life at ARO’s Midtown West luxury rentals. The spread of amenities are not simply extras to use on occasion; they create more ways to enjoy home, whether that’s staying active, hosting friends, finding a quiet place to recharge, or making the most of the final days of summer, all without leaving the building.
