Herald Square hotel to occupy ex-bank building
Marriott International Inc. said it will develop a 168-room Courtyard by Marriott hotel in a former bank building in Manhattan. The Courtyard by Marriot New York Manhattan/Herald Square will occupy the former Atlantic Bank of New York building on the northeast corner of 6th Avenue and 35th Street.
Construction will begin this fall, with a completion date in early 2012. “This will be our seventh Courtyard by Marriott hotel in New York City, and we are excited to be in this fabulous location, near Macy’s and New York’s Penn Station,” said David Marriott, chief operations officer-eastern region, The Americas.
The 17-story building, which first opened in 1928 and is owned by a unit of Hidrock Realty Inc., will maintain its facade, with 5,000 sq. ft. of leased retail space on the ground floor. The Courtyard’s lobby will be on the third floor, along with the brand’s “Table Concept” food and beverage offering. Guest rooms will occupy floors 4 to 17.
