Construction will start soon on one of New York’s largest hotel projects, a 68-story high-rise at the northwest corner of Broadway and 54th Street with more than 600 rooms, according to officials of Granite Broadway Development and Marriott International.
The project, in the works for at least a decade, will include a 378-room Courtyard by Marriott hotel and a 261-room Residence Inn by Marriott hotel, to be known as the Courtyard and Residence Inn Manhattan/Central Park.
Operated under a franchise agreement between Granite Broadway Development and Marriott International, the hotels will be managed by Interstate Hotels and Resorts and are expected to open in late 2013.
Granite Broadway Development and Marriott say the new building will be the tallest in New York used strictly for lodging. Mr. Fox said this claim was accurate, noting that the new Marriott building, expected to reach almost 753 feet, would exceed the height of the Four Seasons Hotel on the north side of 57th Street between Madison and Park Avenues, which is 52 stories, or 682 feet high.
