Marriott Opens 399-Room Hudson Yards Hotel

MIDTOWN MANHATTAN, NY — A towering Courtyard Marriott hotel opened its doors Wednesday, becoming the latest development to be completed in the new west side neighborhood's building boom.

The 28-story hotel, located on the corner of West 34th Street and 10th Avenue, features 399 rooms outfitted with luxuries such as kimono bathrobes, Cuisinart coffee brewers, rain shower heads and complimentary Wi-Fi. The hotel is a Marriott franchise that will be managed by the Endeavor Hospitality Group, the business announced Wednesday.

Location will be a big selling point for the new hotel. The Courtyard Marriott is located just blocks away from the shopping and dining center at Hudson Yards, which has become a tourist hotspot, and the Jacob K Javits Center, which hosts a number of well-attended conventions throughout the year.

"We are looking forward to opening our doors and offering a great new option for business travelers, convention goers, and leisure guests," Robert Cole, the hotel's general manager said in a statement. "Our desirable location on 34th street and 10th avenue – steps away from Hudson Yards – coupled with thoughtful design and elevated amenities, will serve as a preeminent launchpad for those looking to work or play in one of world’s greatest cities."

The new Marriott will also feature amenities such as a 1,700-square foot meeting space that can accommodate 90 people, a full-service restaurant, a hotel bar and a 24-hour fitness center for guests.

Endeavor Hospitality Group expected to open the new Courtyard Marriott in the spring, but had never formally announced an opening date.
