Partnering with Ariel Arce, who has redefined modern hospitality, ensures that Leonessa isn’t just another rooftop bar—it’s a destination in its own right, where each sip is an experience and every visit feels like golden hour on the Amalfi Coast. This concept also exemplifies Hilton’s forward-thinking approach to F&amp;B storytelling and concept design—proving that when the right partner and the right hotel come together with a bold, strategic vision, the result is nothing short of extraordinary.”</p> <div class="block-pullquote"> <div class="block-pullquote__box"> <div class="container"> <blockquote class="block-pullquote__quote"> <p class="block-pullquote__text">“Partnering with Ariel Arce, who has redefined modern hospitality, ensures that Leonessa isn’t just another rooftop bar—it’s a destination in its own right, where each sip is an experience and every visit feels like golden hour on the Amalfi Coast.”</p> </blockquote> </div> </div> </div> <figure class="wp-block-gallery alignwide has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped is-style-unbranded wp-block-gallery-19 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex"> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="4845" height="6057" data-id="33389" src="https://stories-editor.hilton.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Leonessa_Caffe-Tonico__Michael-Persico-Courtesy-of-Conrad-New-York-Downtown.jpeg?w=819" alt="Leonessa, Caffe Tonico, Michael Persico Courtesy of Conrad New York Downtown, marble table, yellow striped seat cushion, flowers in vase, drink coaster, metal straw, whipped cream, orange zest" class="wp-image-33389" srcset="https://stories-editor.hilton.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Leonessa_Caffe-Tonico__Michael-Persico-Courtesy-of-Conrad-New-York-Downtown.jpeg 4845w, https://stories-editor.hilton.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Leonessa_Caffe-Tonico__Michael-Persico-Courtesy-of-Conrad-New-York-Downtown.jpeg?resize=240,300 240w, https://stories-editor.hilton.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Leonessa_Caffe-Tonico__Michael-Persico-Courtesy-of-Conrad-New-York-Downtown.jpeg?resize=768,960 768w, https://stories-editor.hilton.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Leonessa_Caffe-Tonico__Michael-Persico-Courtesy-of-Conrad-New-York-Downtown.jpeg?resize=819,1024 819w, https://stories-editor.hilton.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Leonessa_Caffe-Tonico__Michael-Persico-Courtesy-of-Conrad-New-York-Downtown.jpeg?resize=1229,1536 1229w, https://stories-editor.hilton.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Leonessa_Caffe-Tonico__Michael-Persico-Courtesy-of-Conrad-New-York-Downtown.jpeg?resize=1638,2048 1638w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 4845px) 100vw, 4845px" /></figure> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="4680" height="5850" data-id="33398" src="https://stories-editor.hilton.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Leonessa_Isola-Grande_Michael-Persico-Courtesy-of-Conrad-New-York-Downtown.jpeg?w=819" alt="Leonessa, Isola Grande, Michael Persico Courtesy of Conrad New York Downtown, iced cocktail with salted rim, green nail polish, cocktail, stemmed cocktail glass" class="wp-image-33398" srcset="https://stories-editor.hilton.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Leonessa_Isola-Grande_Michael-Persico-Courtesy-of-Conrad-New-York-Downtown.jpeg 4680w, https://stories-editor.hilton.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Leonessa_Isola-Grande_Michael-Persico-Courtesy-of-Conrad-New-York-Downtown.jpeg?resize=240,300 240w, https://stories-editor.hilton.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Leonessa_Isola-Grande_Michael-Persico-Courtesy-of-Conrad-New-York-Downtown.jpeg?resize=768,960 768w, https://stories-editor.hilton.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Leonessa_Isola-Grande_Michael-Persico-Courtesy-of-Conrad-New-York-Downtown.jpeg?resize=819,1024 819w, https://stories-editor.hilton.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Leonessa_Isola-Grande_Michael-Persico-Courtesy-of-Conrad-New-York-Downtown.jpeg?resize=1229,1536 1229w, https://stories-editor.hilton.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Leonessa_Isola-Grande_Michael-Persico-Courtesy-of-Conrad-New-York-Downtown.jpeg?resize=1638,2048 1638w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 4680px) 100vw, 4680px" /></figure> <figcaption class="blocks-gallery-caption wp-element-caption">Leonessa &#8211; Caffe Tonico (left) &amp; Isola Grande (right)<br>Michael Persico Courtesy of Conrad New York Downtown</figcaption></figure> <p>Located at 102 North End Avenue, between Murray and Vesey Streets, Leonessa will further solidify Conrad New York Downtown’s reputation as Downtown Manhattan’s premier luxury hospitality destination.
