Property amenities
This 42-story Art Deco high-rise was reputed to be the tallest building in the United States for two weeks when it was built in 1930. The hotel stands across from Madison Square Garden and Penn Station on Eighth Avenue and 34th Street, one block from the Garment District and three blocks from the convention center. It’s also less than four blocks from the Empire State Building and less than a half-mile from Times Square.
In addition to three dining options, the hotel features a fitness room, laundry facility, and small business center with laser printer, fax machine, and high-speed Internet access (surcharge). Because the building is a combination of hotel and office space, there are designated elevators for hotel guests, a security post and cameras in the lobby, and 24- hour security patrols. The Sky Lounge has panoramic views of the Hudson River, Statue of Liberty, and Chrysler Building.
