The Buccini/Pollin Group, Hidrock Properties and Hilton Hotels & Resorts today announced the opening of the 310-suite Embassy Suites by Hilton New York - Midtown Manhattan in New York. BPGS Construction oversaw entitlement and construction of the project, and PM Hotel Group performed technical services during programming, design and construction and manages the newly opened hotel. CAMPION PLATT Interiors was selected to design the hotel"s public areas, while HVS Design was responsible for the guest suite and corridor designs, and PPA provided the architectural plans.

BPG was intrigued by the opportunity to build New York City"s only Embassy Suites by Hilton hotel in an irreplaceable location. While New York City has witnessed an explosion of new select-service hotels on the fringes of the city"s business and residential districts, the Embassy Suites" core location, unique and differentiated brand, all-suites configuration, multiple F&B options and 39-story design set this project apart. Located between 5th Avenue and 6th Avenue on 37th Street, the hotel has great access to uptown, downtown, the city"s most important transportation hubs, and crucially, Midtown South"s busy office submarket. Finding a site that could accommodate the Embassy Suites brand, regardless of location, was also paramount. The 37th Street site is block-through, providing for access to both 36th and 37th Streets, and the requisite width and depth to accommodate an all-suite configuration. The Embassy Suites brand is known as a category killer, meaning that it dominates its segment – the all-suite format. Each suite comes with much more space than traditional hotels, especially the newer, economy projects being built on the fringes of the city. The Embassy Suites brand is also highly differentiated through its value proposition – a complimentary, cooked to order breakfast and hosted evening reception – in addition to providing a selection of a la carte dining and bar options. Finally, BPG was motived by the potential to build a 39-story building when much of the surrounding neighborhood is approximately 20 stories tall, providing stunning views of Manhattan.

Located at the crossroads of New York City - Herald Square and the bright lights of Broadway - the 39-story Embassy Suites by Hilton New York - Midtown Manhattan hotel is the place to see and be seen. With a glass façade offering supreme views of the iconic New York City skyline, the hotel is surrounded by Ernst & Young, IPG and Morgan Stanley and only a quick walk to Times Square, the Empire State Building and 5th Avenue shopping. Penn Station and Grand Central Terminal are both steps away, easily connecting the hotel to LaGuardia, JFK and Newark airports and Amtrak"s NE Corridor.

The hotel's 310 studio suites are elegant spaces consisting of sophisticated, custom finishes. Many feature semi-private living areas with an oversized sofa seating area, some contain balconies, and all provide sweeping city views. Suites provide complimentary WiFi, two 42-inch HDTVs, spacious work area, mini-fridge, microwave and coffeemaker. Luxury bath amenities and spa-like showers make the bathroom experience unique in New York.
