Pennsylvania
New York's Hotel Pennsylvania, a landmark in Midtown Manhattan for almost one hundred years, is ideally located on the ultra-fashionable 7th Avenue. This 2 star Tourist Class hotel stands 22 floors high, has 1,700 guest rooms, and is one of the five biggest hotels in Manhattan.
Many of New York's "must see" attractions are practically on the doorstep - Madison Square Garden, Macy's (the largest department store in the world), the Chrysler Building, the Empire State Building and, just a little further afield, Times Square and Central Park.
Countless shopping, dining and entertainment opportunities are only moments away and a short stroll leads you to the magical atmosphere of Broadway's theater district.
Pennsylvania Station, popularly known as Penn Station, is just across the street. This is a popular transport complex where visitors who want to travel further afield have a choice of bus, train, subway or cab.
Some of the nearby New York neighbourhoods have established their own unique identities and are also worth checking out - China Town, Greenwich Village, SoHo and Little Italy.
Hotel Pennsylvania has a remarkable background, with quite a few “claims to fame”. When it first opened in 1919 this was the biggest hotel in the world and can now boast to have accommodated more guests than any other hotel worldwide – over 27 million. The Hotel Pennsylvania still retains its original, now famous, telephone number which has been immortalized worldwide and is perhaps better recognised as the title of the popular Glenn Miller hit “Pennsylvania 6-5000”. When the “Big Band Sound” of the 1930s and 40s was at its height, the Glenn Miller Orchestra regularly entertained here and the hotel’s phone number was the inspiration for this hugely successful recording.
The hotel’s main lobby is an impressively spacious area with high ceilings and cream coloured marbled flooring. The glass and mirrored decorative features, together with the minimalistic furniture groupings, enhance the sense of Art Deco style.
DINING
The Statler Grill specialises in traditional steaks as well as fresh seafood dishes. A selection of grilled foods is also available at the bar and lounge.
Lindy’s Restaurant has a retro-American style, with menus to match. This is a relaxing choice for breakfast, lunch, dinner or dessert.
City Perk is a cafe within the wonderful entrance lobby. Guests can enjoy light snacks and beverages 24 hours a day, every day of the week.
Tim Hortons is the answer if you want a coffee or a donut. This popular cafe has a take-out service too.
