Developed by Atelier CX, the consulting arm of Forbes Travel Guide, the certification process rigorously audits a property's service culture and operational consistency.

53 West 53 Secures Forbes Travel Guide Luxury Designation
The architectural landmark 53 West 53 has become one of the first properties to earn the VERIFIED™ Luxury Residences designation from Forbes Travel Guide. This recognition validates the Manhattan tower's commitment to hotel-caliber service standards, setting a new benchmark for high-end residential living in New York City.

Marc Kotler, president of FirstService Residential New York, noted that the designation mirrors the dedication of the board and staff to maintain a standard of care commensurate with the building's iconic profile. Rising above Midtown near The Museum of Modern Art, the Jean Nouvel-designed skyscraper aims to bridge the gap between private ownership and the personalized attention typically reserved for five-star hotel guests. Hermann Elger, CEO of Forbes Travel Guide, emphasized that modern luxury now hinges on how residents feel within their daily environment, rather than just aesthetics or amenities.
