 InterContinental New York Times Square

by Michael Morcos

Modern glamour is the name of the game at the InterContinental New York Times Square hotel. From the sculpture garden to tree-like columns to the stunning ballroom the hotel’s allure is matched by that of its location.

It was perfectly situated for us, smack dab in the centre of all the action and standing tall in the heart of mid-town Manhattan. One block to Times Square and minutes from the Broadway area, we could have a cocktail in The Stinger Cocktail Bar and Kitchen before going for a night exploring the area`s dining possibilities.

Every day we awoke to our exceptional view of the high rises, rivers and other uniquely New York sights from our 32nd floor room. In the mornings, I highly recommend to take full advantage of the great breakfast buffet with just about anything you desire. Fill up, as days in the Big Apple means hours of walking.

During the day, the InterContinental’s location made it the perfect base of “shoperations” as we could head out in any direction to find shopping options for all our interests. Just out the door there is a Subway station ready to take you to any corner of the island and beyond.

The friendly staff helped us out with learning about the theater scene and when we were too tired from the day out and about, we could take advantage of all the amenities that are made available at this luxurious hotel. With Wi-Fi, cable, room service, a 24-hour fitness center and personalized in-room beauty services, the list is long and full. Clean and quiet, our room was a sanctuary from the often overwhelming New York.

In keeping with the times, the InterContinental is LEED certified with design highlights that bring new meaning to deluxe.
