NEW YORK CITY
Hyatt Hotels has announced the opening of Hyatt Times Square New York, the seventh hotel to be added to the Hyatt-branded portfolio in Manhattan.
The 487-room hotel stands 54 stories high, making it the tallest newly built, freestanding Hyatt hotel in the United States. This newest addition to Hyatt's portfolio is also the third Hyatt-branded hotel to open in Manhattan in 2013.
Located on West 45th Street, the hotel is steps away from world-famous Times Square at the intersection of Broadway and Seventh Avenue. The hotel is within walking distance of Broadway theaters, Radio City Music Hall, Rockefeller Center and flagship Fifth Avenue shops.
The George Wong-designed guestrooms offer an intimate, apartment-like feel with floor-to-ceiling windows. The decor juxtaposes neutral, light-toned fabrics and warm woods with brightly colored, city-themed art pieces, including a pop-art lounge chair created by a local artist. With only 11 spacious rooms per floor, the hotel also features 49 suites with modern pluses such as large bathrooms featuring deep soaking tubs adjacent to rain-head showers.
Additionally, the hotel's Premier Suite features a private terrace with dramatic views of the dazzling Manhattan cityscape. Notable in-room features are 47-inch flat screen TVs, ergonomic workspaces, in-room coffeemakers and refrigerators, and multiport connections to suit guests' electronic/connectivity needs. All guests can also enjoy the 24-hour fitness center with cardio machines and free weights.
Slated to open in time for New Year's Eve, the hotel's George Wong-designed diner offers a vibrant setting for meals as well as take-out service. Additional Hyatt Times Square amenities and meeting spaces are scheduled to open by early 2014.
• The 4,200-square-foot spa will be the only hotel spa in the area and will feature a blowout bar, manicure and pedicure stations, signature massages and couples treatment rooms.
• The 2,000-square-foot meeting center features pre-function areas and three adjacent rooms, each with a terrace and natural light as well as top-tier audiovisual facilities.
• The 54th floor rooftop lounge, designed by SPAN Architecture, will offer river-to-river views and indoor/outdoor fireplaces.
The hotel is now accepting reservations.
