Hard Rock International has announced the opening of the much-anticipated Hard Rock Hotel New York.
Uniquely situated in the heart of Midtown Manhattan, mere steps from iconic landmarks including Radio City Music Hall, Rockefeller Center and the Theatre District, Hard Rock Hotel New York pays homage to the city’s historic Music Row, honouring its legacy through intricate design, curated amenities, and award-winning guest experiences.
Award-winning design firm, Jeffrey Beers International, was responsible for the interiors and have imbued the artistic expression of music throughout every area of the hotel. In each space, the guest discovers a design or sculptural homage to either musical instruments, such as guitars and brass wind instruments, or to music notes and sound waves.
Bold materials include lush dark woods, striking marbles, luxurious brass finishes, and tactile leather and velvet fabrics. The rich colour palette features the property’s signature blue, rich browns, warm golds and brass, and pops of metallic silver, lush greens, and vibrant reds.
Hard Rock International has partnered with Audacy, the second largest broadcaster in the United States, to create the Audacy Live state-of-the-art performance studio and entertainment hub. A series of recording sessions, live events, and intimate performances from A-list artists will be featured on an ongoing basis.
The Venue on Music Row, meanwhile, is the hotel’s stand-out entertainment space. Spanning two floors, it is inspired by New York from a bygone era when jazz clubs, speakeasies, and dinner-theatre performances reigned supreme. The Venue is set to be a must-visit destination, playing host to world class entertainment performances as well as fashion shows, after-parties, and gala dinners.
Hard Rock Hotel New York features 446 exquisitely designed guest rooms and speciality suites offering floor-to-ceiling windows that showcase the city’s vibrant energy. The rooms are designed with striking blue tones and gold accents, which are inspired by the city lit up at dusk.
Guests will find iconic imagery of notable artists printed on glass doors along with sound wave carpet patterns and sculptural artwork above the headboards. With a variety of room types ranging from well-appointed King Rooms to Platinum Suites with terraces, each features Kimono robes, Lavazza® espresso, Rock Spa® bath products, and high speed Wi-Fi to complete the act.
The hotel incorporates a multitude of day to night culinary and cocktail concepts, including fine dining at the upscale NYY Steak in partnership with the New York Yankees, the brand’s all-day signature Sessions Restaurant & Bar, and RT60 Rooftop.
At NYY Steak, Mozambique wood panelled walls are complemented by autographs from famed players while heritage-sourced steaks, local market seafood and creative main dishes are served on fine China inscribed with player numbers within the iconic franchise insignia.
From day to night, Sessions Restaurant & Bar represents the soundtrack of New York, serving farm-fresh fare for breakfast, lunch, and evening bites daily. Located on the main level and accessible by a grand staircase from the street, this light-filled atrium with an open-air terrace offers live, unplugged musical performances.
Guest and locals can discover the city from new heights at RT60 bar and lounge located on the 34th floor, serving up crafted cocktails, shareable bites and music & entertainment.
