IHG has begun the countdown to the opening of the newest InterContinental Hotels & Resorts property in Times Square. Slated to open in July, the InterContinental New York Times Square will join the InterContinental New York Barclay as IHG’s newest InterContinental Hotel in the city.

Situated on 44th Street just west of Times Square, the new-build hotel is a short stroll to the Broadway Theater District and Fifth Avenue shopping.

Wrapped with floor-to-ceiling windows, the 36-story InterContinental New York Times Square will total 607 guestrooms each averaging 350 square feet, including an oversized bathroom complete with walk-in rain showers.

The hotel boasts 29 corner suites with expansive views of the city that allowing guests to sightsee without moving their feet.

Additionally, the hotel’s 2,700-square-foot duplex Presidential Suite will showcase dramatic panoramic views of Times Square, Broadway, the New York City skyline and the Hudson River.

As one of the closest hotels to Javits Convention Center, the property boasts 10 meeting rooms totaling 10,000 square feet of flexible meeting and event space, inclusive of a 4,000-square-foot ballroom.

Additionally, there are 25 flexible suites that can be utilized as event space.

The hotel will showcase a new French bistro-inspired restaurant from Chef Todd English.

The restaurant includes an intimate dining space available for private events and a dynamic bar area overlooking Broadway that captures the energy of the Theater District and the urban appeal of historic Hell’s Kitchen.

Additional amenities include a Concierge Lounge, 24-hour business and fitness centers, wired and wireless Internet in guestrooms and public areas, 42-inch HDTV flat-panel televisions and touch-screen computers in all guestrooms, and a courtyard viewing garden in the lobby complete with reflecting pool and sculptures.

With interior design by Jeffrey Beers International (JBI), the InterContinental New York Times Square combines classic New York Art Deco heritage with contemporary and natural inspiration, providing a refreshing sanctuary from the bustling streets of Manhattan.
