About
Gracing the iconic skyline at 159 West 48th Street, steps from Broadway, Rockefeller Center, Bryant Park and Fifth Avenue shopping, the must-visit entertainment destination aims to honor the legacy of Music Row as the iconic brand’s new flagship hotel. The newly constructed hotel will feature 446 exquisitely designed guest rooms and specialty suites offering floor-to-ceiling windows that showcase the city’s vibrant energy. Sitting atop the 34th floor is the jewel of the Rock Star Suite, a bi-level glass-enclosed penthouse with expansive city views, original contemporary artwork, bespoke music memorabilia, and one of the largest terraces for entertaining in New York City. To spearhead the property's interior design, Hard Rock Hotels enlisted the services of award-winning design firm Jeffrey Beers International to bring a music-infused vision to life, accented by legendary memorabilia honoring musicians from and inspired by New York City.
Guests and locals will discover innovative culinary concepts including the upscale and stylish NYY Steak, in partnership with the New York Yankees. Mozambique wood paneled walls will be complemented by autographs from famed players while heritage-sourced steaks, local market seafood and approachable main dishes will be served on fine China inscribed with player numbers within the iconic franchise insignia. RT60 Rooftop bar will deliver masterfully crafted cocktails, shareable bites, an effortlessly stylish scene, and a chance to soak in the city from above. This will be a true entertainment destination with world-renowned DJs and emerging local talent. From day to night, the brand’s signature Sessions Restaurant & Bar will represent the soundtrack of New York. Located on the main level and accessible by a grand staircase from the street, this light-filled three-story atrium and open-air terrace will offer live, unplugged musical performances that embody the vitality and ingenuity of the city.
The hotel’s show stopping feature will be The Venue on Music Row, an extraordinary flexible entertainment space with capacity for up to 400 guests. The Venue will play host to A-list performances as well as fashion shows, after-parties, and gala dinners for some of the city’s most sought-after moments.
In true Hard Rock style, the hotel will offer an array of signature brand experiences and amenities exclusive to Hard Rock Hotels. Amenities include the Sound of Your Stay® which allows guests to listen to Tracks® curated playlists by artists and musicians, Crosley record players available upon request with Wax®, or play a Fender guitar with Picks® in the privacy of their room. Roxity® programming will bring to life family attractions and entertainment while the Unleashed® pet program will welcome four legged friends. Guests are invited to exchange the traditional city map for Soundtracks® interactive area guides which are curated by Hard Rock and musical artists to showcase the best of each destination.
We look forward to welcoming you!
