NEW YORK
Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide announced the launch of a $65 million renovation of the historic New York Helmsley Hotel, which will fly the Westin flag following the extensive re-branding initiative.
The multi-million renovation of the iconic hotel, which is blocks away from both Grand Central Terminal and the United Nations, will include a complete redesign of the hotel’s 774 guestrooms, each boasting over 300 square feet. More than 15,000 square feet of meeting space will also be renovated.
The lobby bar/restaurant will be extended to 42nd street and the entire façade of the building will be completely transformed. The renovation is expected to take place through June; rooms will remain open to accommodate guests during the conversion.
