647 Key Hotel with Housing
The site required a ‘Cure’ housing approval for previous tenant harassment issues from previous owners. This was accomplished as a seven story subsidized apartment building for the Housing & Preservation Development Department. The hotel consists of two independent hotels totaling 647 rooms. Hotel New York, twenty-six stories, is comprised of 497 guest rooms and Hotel Times Square, twenty-nine stories, is an executive luxury hotel with 150 guest rooms. Each hotel tower offers views of Times Square, the Hudson River and Central Park in the distance. The hotel’s amenity spaces such as public restaurants/cafes, guest lounges/computer access, a health club, and conference facilities are on the ground floor and cellar.
