With summer in the rear view mirror, some of you are probably upset that your next big vacation may have to wait until 2017. But we at Hawkins International always enjoy playing tourist right here in New York City! Staying close to home doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy yourselves, and sometimes a staycation in your own backyard is the best way to unwind. To help inspire a bit of autumnal wanderlust, take a look at a few of our favorite local hotels below.
The InterContinental New York Barclay
Welcome to Midtown East’s newest gem: The InterContinental New York Barclay! This hotel recently reopened following a $180 million renovation, marking the most ambitious restoration in their history. During your stay be sure to check out Growler Hour, cocktail specials and locally-inspired seasonal cuisine at The Gin Parlour. Take advantage of the Barclay’s Explore New York package where you can enjoy 20% savings when you book three or more nights.
Located in the heart of New York, Room Mate Grace puts you in a prime location: close to Times Square. Everything’s nearby – Broadway theaters, 5th Avenue shops, and many other iconic NYC sights. It is also a perfect location to catch a Broadway play! And after a long day we have the best idea to relax: grab a cocktail at their swim up bar.
