NEW YORK CITY
Weekend visitors to the Westin New York Grand Central now have access to customized itineraries and an insider’s tips for enjoying the best that New York City has to offer, with the introduction of uber-local recommendations from the hotel’s new Travel Ambassador Lisa Loverro.
The new Travel Ambassador amenity is now available for guests who book weekend packages at the hotel and features specialized itineraries curated by Ms. Loverro based on guests’ specific interests. This new perk at the Westin New York Grand Central is an added value to the Westin brand’s newly launched Westin Finds From AFAR program, a digital destination guide that steers travelers to local favorites and under-the-radar, must see sights within easy reach of Westin hotels.
A native New Yorker and longtime travel expert, Loverro has her finger on the pulse of New York City–from the hottest restaurants to hidden gems. As Travel Ambassador to the hotel, she will personally relay her insider’s insight about the city to guests who book two-night weekend visits, with recommendations for experiencing neighborhood spots catering to local New Yorkers and visiting New York’s iconic landmarks.
Located in the heart of midtown Manhattan, the new Westin New York Grand Central opened in October 2012 after a $75 million complete renovation to reveal a modern design and signature Westin amenities. The hotel features 774 guest rooms and suites, a 3,000 square-foot fitness studio and THE LCL: Bar & Kitchen, the first bar and food concept from Gerber Group in a Westin property.
For events, the hotel offers 15,000 square feet of meeting space including the brand-new Madison Ballroom.
