The moment you arrive at Renaissance, you're happy to be home. As you enter the sleek and lustrous lobby through a revolving door, the concierge hands you the parcel you're expecting. Pick up your fresh laundry from the valet and elevator up to your studio, which is brighter and roomier than most one-bedroom apartments. Of course, all Renaissance apartments have different floor plans.

Step out onto your terrace. This is no typical postage stamp balcony for planters, but a spacious sky deck where you can stretch and take in the city lights. After your daily fresh air, tie up loose ends from work in your fully equipped home office where your phones, fax and computer are connected without improvised rigging. Residents enjoy high speed cable internet access 50 times faster than standard lines. Hungry? Enjoy granite countertops, maple cabinets, and modern appliances.

Split for the 20,000-square-foot gym with state-of-the-art cardio and weight equipment, consult your personal trainer, take a sauna and rehydrate at the juice bar. Rest up at the lounge... catch some TV and check out where your friends and neighbors are headed for the evening. The Renaissance is close to all of the culture, dining, nightlife and shopping you love about downtown New York. The South Street Seaport, with its quaint cobblestone streets and tall ships, will be your playground. There you'll find all the boutiques, stores, restaurants and international flair.

For serenity, green and water, walk over to Battery Park and meditate while viewing the Lady Liberty. And when nighttime falls, take to the nearby clubs and bistros. Tribeca is ten minutes away on foot, and Soho's within a three-dollar cab ride. You can catch the latest exhibit at Guggenheim Downtown, browse the most influential galleries in the art world and see the latest in everything. Why stop there? You're a block away from the Fulton/Nassau station, meaning you can pick your spot anywhere in Manhattan without a transfer. Location, space, luxury service, and affordable rents make Renaissance the ideal place to experience city life.
