Meliá Hotels International is set to launch new hotel, INNSIDE New York NoMad, in the heart of Manhattan

Meliá Hotels International will launch its first property in New York City in March 2016. Located at 132 West 27^th Street between 6^th and 7^th Avenue, INNSIDE New York NoMad is within easy access of the city's iconic landmarks and attractions, including New York Highline, Times Square and Madison Square Gardens.

INNSIDE New York NoMad will boast 313 spacious guest rooms, with neutral contemporary interiors and accents of colour, along with oversized floor to ceiling windows, which offer natural light. The hotel has eight suites, including three unique terrace suites, with breathtaking views of New York's skyline and the Empire State Building. Each room will offer sleek in-room amenities, including a Nespresso coffee machine, 42" flat screen TV with USB and Bluetooth connectivity and complimentary minibar. Bathrooms will feature a spacious rain shower, bath tub and a range of SAMPAR products, made with active natural ingredients.

INNSIDE New York NoMad will have access to several major subway lines. Located in the up and coming NoMad district (North of Madison Square Gardens), guests will be able to explore the area renowned for antique galleries and weekend flea markets, as well as a number of popular nightlife spots.

The property will offer a signature restaurant, Impero Caffé by Scott Conant, including an outdoor garden terrace, with distinctive New York and Italian influences. Managed by celebrity chef, Scott Conant, Impero Caffé is set to become the city's new destination restaurant, as well as a cosy neighbourhood spot. Open for lunch and dinner, it will serve elevated bistro-style Italian cuisine, including fresh pasta, risotto and seafood. The lobby bar will serve an extensive range of cocktails, from old-fashioned drinks to seasonal hand-crafted beverages, in a cool and modern setting.

Gabriel Escarrer, Vice Chairman and CEO of Meliá Hotels International, said: "Establishing a presence in New York City has always been a dream for Meliá Hotels International. INNSIDE New York Nomad will be a great foundation as we look to continue our expanded growth into the North American market in 2016. New York, one of the biggest tourist destinations for both business and leisure travellers in the world, is perfect for our INNSIDE by Meliá brand, and we are thrilled to see this project come to life."
