As the newest Crowne Plaza property, the design-centric newcomer has set out to completely transform future standards for the modern business traveler.
Located at 320 West 36th Street mere blocks from the Javits Center and flourishing Hudson Yards neighborhood, Crowne Plaza HY36 already holds TripAdvisor's number one spot for New York City hotels after celebrating flourishing reviews alluding to the hotels commitment to personal excellence.
The property has adopted the brand's newly introduced Guest Love Essentials, including premium pillows, newly-designed collateral and the MOMENTUM by Timo Weiland uniform collection for hotel team members.
In addition, the property features complimentary WiFi throughout the hotel with IHG Connect, in-room coffee stations, power everywhere and a beautiful fitness center.
Designed by NYC based architecture firm Stonehill Taylor, the hotel boasts a New Modern industrial facade inspired by the surrounding neighborhood's transportation centers.
Emulating nearby mega hubs such as Penn Station, the Lincoln Tunnel, and Grand Central Station, soaring concrete columns running the height of the atrium compliment the five 50-foot tall cascading light fixtures that are visible both indoors as well as from passerbys.
Supplementing the striking architecture, K&Co creates a modern, yet welcoming design throughout.
From the common areas to the guestrooms, natural materials meet vibrant colors and structured patterns for a sleek and airy feel. Guestrooms are custom designed with functionality in mind and boast hidden elements such as retractable bed lights and wireless charging stations alongside an expansive work desk.
Floor to ceiling windows transition into sleek fixtures, a spa like shower and refreshing subway tile in the bathroom.
TGA (The Great American), a brand-new restaurant concept, will be unveiled on the ground floor. The destination restaurant will serve American fare with an inventive twist offering dishes such as salmon crudo and wagyu burgers.
12-foot glass garage doors create an airy and posh atmosphere to compliment a neighboring outdoor patio and beer garden that features a second full bar and retractable skylight roof.
Designed for year-round enjoyment, scrumptious food and imaginative mixology pair with a lively vibe to enchant travelers and lure in locals.
Boasting a very unique seasonal indoor-outdoor dynamic, TGA aims to bridge the gap of the greatest American generations through food, drinks, and experiential dining that Midtown New York City has been yearning for.
With an eye for wellness, a fully equipped athletic studio is accessible to all guests.
To help travelers stay focused, energized and in-line with their routine, the on-site fitness center features state-of-the-art Peloton bikes, where cyclers can spin with a live trainer, and Ample Woodway treadmills, providing a larger running surface and sufficient space for the elite athlete.
Quality sleep is nurtured in-suite with a three-step aromatherapy kit that transports guests to a state of serenity.
In addition to the on-site fitness studio and amenities, the hotel is also in close proximity to nearby jogging and biking trails, outdoor ice skating rinks, and many more recreational activities that New York City has to offer.
Boasting 1,290 square feet of flexible meeting space, Crowne Plaza HY36 houses two meeting rooms, the Hudson and Midtown Board Room. Located on the ground floor, guests can utilize the 24-hour business lounge which offers a stylishly comfortable work environment, unlimited Wi-Fi access and a printer, copier and scanner all-in-one.
Business travelers can relax as the Crowne Plaza Meetings Director serves as a dedicated point of contact to handle the logistics of all on-site gatherings.
