The 2,000-room New York Marriott Marquis unveils its $39mn new look
The Marriott Hotels & Resorts and Host Hotels & Resorts, Inc has raised the curtain on the newly renovated New York Marriott Marquis in Times Square. At the heart of the multi-million dollar renovation is the brand’s reinvented lobby, including two signature restaurants and lounges, where guests can work, socialize, relax, eat and drink. The makeover also encompasses the hotel’s nearly 2,000 guest rooms and a new, high tech 29,000 sq ft Broadway ballroom. The New York Marriott Marquis which celebrated its 25th anniversary last year was envisioned and created by the interior architecture and design firm ForrestPerkins of Washington, D.C., the hotel’s new interior and custom furnishings reflect the vibrancy and energy of New York City.
The renovated New York Marriott Marquis will offer guest rooms featuring custom furnishings with clean, crisp lines that enhance and accentuate the space of the room, dressed in neutral colors of cocoa-brown, cream and champagne. Accent pin lighting is mounted on oversized headboards inlaid with nickel, meant to evoke a streetscape grid. High-definition televisions and desk consoles, pull-out love seats and new carpeting and curtains complete the new look. Enhancements to the bathrooms include spa shower curtains. More than 1,000 guest rooms have been totally redesigned, with the remainder to be completed by spring 2012.
For diners, the new restaurant and lounge, Crossroads – an American Kitchen and Bar, features a spectacular two story mirrored spiral bar encircled with 11 high definition television screens and surrounded by low sofas and comfortable armchairs. The new Broadway Lounge, inspired by New Year’s Eve and the traditional ball drop will feature a six spherical chandelier, each with 234 shimmering clear glass balls, reflecting Broadway’s bright lights and electronic billboards. Two-story arched glass windows give guests panoramic views of Times Square. The multi-level seating in the Broadway Lounge offers guests the choice to be in the middle of the action or enjoy privacy.
The glamorous Broadway Ballroom seat up to 2,400 guests is also known as the ballroom of the future, with chandeliers in amorphous shapes that resemble a geode being sliced down the middle. The room’s “vanishing ceiling” in black allows it to be transformed in myriad ways for every type of occasion. The programmable chandeliers offer thousands of choices for customers, with color-changing LED technology.
The overall renovation will include all guest rooms’ restaurants, lounges and public areas and will cost approximately $39 million.
