The largest new hotel built in New York City since 2002 combines international style and environmental responsibility, according to IHG.
The 607 guestroom InterContinental New York Times Square rises 36 stories and is the largest new-build hotel to open in Manhattan since 2002. IHG say it will be the largest hotel in New York to achieve LEED® (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification, providing guests with a full-service, luxury hotel experience that is also environmentally responsible.
With architecture by the global design and planning firm of Gensler, the hotel’s contextual exterior draws from two distinctly New York neighborhoods, the Theater District and historic Clinton. The hotel’s interiors were designed by Jeffery Beers International (JBI) and combine classic New York Art Deco heritage with contemporary and natural inspiration, providing a refreshing sanctuary from the bustling streets of Manhattan.
Wrapped with floor-to-ceiling windows, the InterContinental New York Times Square’s guestrooms average 350 square feet in size and include an oversized, spa-inspired bathroom complete with walk-in rain showers. The hotel boasts 25 Panoramic Avenue Suites with stunning views of the city that allow guests to sightsee without moving their feet. Additionally, the hotel’s three-bedroom, 2,700-square foot bi-level Penthouse Suite with panoramic views of Times Square, Broadway, the New York City skyline and the Hudson River.
“We’re confident that our location in the heart of midtown along with the InterContinental brand will attract guests from all over the world. The hotel has so much to offer, from its design features and the stunning views of the city to our restaurant, Ça Va, created and operated by Todd English,” said Drew Schlesinger, general manager, InterContinental New York Times Square. “Like our sister property the historic InterContinental New York Barclay, our guests will get the ‘in the know’ experience that InterContinental is known for through our industry-leading global concierge program and superior staff.”
The InterContinental New York Times Square will also showcase Celebrity Chef Todd English’s newest restaurant concept, Ça Va. This French bistro-inspired restaurant will serve traditional brasserie fare as well as playful, contemporary interpretations of the classics.
As one of the closest hotels to Javits Convention Center, the property boasts 10 meeting rooms totaling 10,000 square feet of flexible meeting and event space, inclusive of a 4,000-square foot ballroom. Additionally, there are 25 flexible suites available that can be utilized as event space.
Additional hotel amenities include a Concierge Lounge; 24-hour business and fitness centers; wired and wireless internet in guestrooms and public areas; 42-inch HDTV flat panel televisions and touch-screen computers in all guestrooms; and a courtyard viewing garden in the lobby complete with a reflecting pool and sculptures.
The InterContinental New York Times Square was developed, and is owned by, a partnership led by affiliates of Tishman Hotel & Realty LP, and is managed by IHG Management (Maryland) LLC, a company in the InterContinental Hotels Group, on behalf of West 44th Street Hotel, LLC.
