Always at the hub of New York City's throbbing activity, Times Square has undergone a rebirth that will amaze those who have not visited the city recently. No longer the tourist trap that it had been in years past, Times Square has been reborn as the gathering point for business, pleasure, and stylish surroundings in Manhattan.
New York's frenetic real estate boom in the 90's included the arrival of corporate giants Disney and Warner Brothers in Times Square. The rebirth of the theater district, the garment district, and the city's best shopping, dining, and arts followed in short order. Now, native New Yorkers are delighted to be returning to the area, and Times Square is the crossroads of the city and the world that it was always meant to be.
The makeover includes the impressive Paramount Hotel, one block off Times Square on West 46th Street. A Sol Melia property, the Paramount Hotel matches the emphasis on design, style, and comfort for which the trend-setting network's resort and entertainment centers are known worldwide.
Entering the Paramount Hotel lobby, the visitor knows that this is part of Times Square's rebirth of style. Soaring high ceilings, an eclectic collection of bold furniture, and the dramatic silver leaf staircase are lit by a cascade of small candles. The Mezzanine Restaurant overlooks the lobby, providing a vantage point for enjoying the bustling activity and striking decor with the excellent continental cuisine.
For cocktails, guests can choose the intriguing Paramount Bar, with its black chalkboard walls full of graffiti. This exclusive locale boasts the best cosmos in the city. On a completely different note, the Library Bar, with its beautiful mahogany walls, offers inviting white sofas draped with soft throws and accented by warm lighting. Above the bar's mahogany bar stools is a high shelf, with a handpicked selection of antique and contemporary books.
Dean & Deluca's popular gourmet food store is also on site, and the impressive corporate facilities at the Paramount Hotel, designed to host small and prestigious business functions, draw a diverse assortment of visitors daily.
The facility boasts 610 rooms and suites, with all the amenities required for business or pleasure. The 24-hour concierge manages all guest needs, and parking amenities for children are also easily arranged on request.
The fully equipped fitness center provides an extraordinary array of equipment and stations. Personal trainer service and in-room massage are available on request.
