Hard Rock Hotel NYC Makes Its Long-Awaited Debut

25th April 2022 will go down as a day to remember as Hard Rock Hotel New York finally cut the red ribbon on its masterpiece in Midtown Manhattan. This debut is even more interesting as it also marks the latest hotel-casino to launch operations since the COVID-19 pandemic started.

Chairman of Hard Rock International, Jim Allen, had this to say: "New York City is one of the greatest cities in the world, and we are honored to open our doors to locals and travelers looking for a best-in-class hotel, dining, and entertainment experience."

"Hard Rock has had a presence for decades in the City, but this location will deliver an entirely new experience from the brand that's been synonymous with music and entertainment for over 50 years," he reasserted.

The hotel is located a few steps away from architectural hotspots like Broadway, Times Square, Bryant Park, Rockefeller Center, and Fifth Avenue. Taking advantage of its location, Hard Rock Hotel aims to use the Music Row as an incentive to attract patronage.

The Hard Rock brand has a significant history with music as the brand was founded back in the 80s with the Hard Rock Café located in Park Lane. Since then, the organization has grown tremendously, with over 253 properties across the globe.

Unending Entertainment

Paying respects to Music Row, the Hard Rock Hotel is a spot that presents live music to public spaces in its vicinity. This is facilitated further thanks to Hard Rock International partnering with Audacy — a popular broadcaster in the US.

The terms of the deal will see Hard Rock New York incorporate Audacy Live — an entertainment studio and hub. The latter will be responsible for recording events, live sessions, & shows by A-list artists.

446 Exquisite Lodgings

The accommodations at the Hard Rock Hotel comprise 446 rooms with floor-to-ceiling windows through which patrons can view the city's vibrant vibe all day long.

Rooms are designed to stellar taste. Inspired by the city's light-up colors at dusk, the hotel incorporates blue and gold colors. Visitors will be left intrigued by the sheer number of artistic imagery hung up on the walls.

On the 36th floor lies the "Rock Star Suite." Covered in glass, this penthouse gives patrons a bird-eyed view of the colorful city below. To make the ambiance more fascinating, there are various modern artworks available to evoke clarity and calm amongst patrons.

Nightly rates are from $475, and reservations can be made on the Hard Rock Hotels New York site.

An Unforgettable Food & Beverage Experience

Hard Rock Hotel New York makes it a point to ensure that its clientele has an excellent culinary experience. For instance, customers can get fine dining at NYY Steak. Enclosed by Mozambique wooden panels with autographs from New York Yankee stars, NYY Steak is the perfect spot for business lunches and celebratory dinners.

For something different and upbeat, the Sessions Restaurant & Bar is the spot to be. Representing sound straight out of NYC, patrons can enjoy live sessions from top artists on the open terrace while munching on fresh bites and downing chilled drinks.
