EDITORIAL REVIEW
The landmark Doubletree Metropolitan Hotel in Midtown Manhattan puts guests within easy walking distance from many major attractions synonymous with New York City and the world's best shopping along Fifth Avenue. What's more, business travelers staying here will find themselves in the middle of the Midtown business district. The Doubletree Metropolitan is ideally situated just a block to eight blocks away from Park Avenue, Madison Avenue's swanky shops, Rockefeller Center, St. Patrick's Cathedral, NBC and Bloomingdale's department store. Opened in 1961, this hotel - originally called The Summit - was the talk of the town for its ideal location and tropical Art Deco look. Designed by famed architect Morris Lapidus, the building's curving façade was an extreme contrast to the straight lines of the surrounding skyscrapers.
In 2004, the Doubletree Metropolitan completed a $30 million renovation, which brought new rooms, lobby, meeting space, restaurant and bar to the Manhattan hotel. Now, the restored original Deco glory mixes with 21st-century amenities, including high-speed internet access, cordless phone, LCD flat screen TVs. Guests can work out in the new well-equipped fitness facility and visit the lobby's nail and hair salons and sundry shop. The Metropolitan's concierges will direct guests to the best of Manhattan. To satisfy their hunger, guests can dine at hotel's popular Met Grill.
The guestrooms and suites are decorated in soft earth tones, soundproofed, and come equipped with speaker and bathroom phones. All newly renovated rooms include have flat-screen TVs, high-speed Internet access, pay movies, hair dryers, irons and ironing boards, laptop safes, slate bathrooms and windows that open.
From shoe shines to manicures to souvenir gifts from New York to its prime location, the Doubletree Metropolitan Hotel is a perfect launch pad for travelers touring the Big Apple.
