Besides being easy walks from Times Square and the bright lights of Broadway, the Skyline Hotel can boast amenities not commonly found in the city: onsite self- parking at a very modest rate by local standards and Manhattan's largest indoor swimming pool. And it's heated, too. In the New York City hotel world, "accommodation" and "spacious" are two words that don't normally go together, but the Skyline, completely renovated within the past two years, offers patrons some of the largest guestrooms in Manhattan. Consequently, regular visitors to New York know this hotel can be a great value, especially if they have kids or are driving into the city. Decorated with peach-and-green bedspreads and drapes, the rooms come equipped with WebTV, phones, irons and ironing boards, video games, cable/satellite TVs with premium channels, movies, and other amenities.
What's more, the hotel's location is unbeatable. Popular with families and tour groups, the hotel also is close to a cruise-ship terminal and the Intrepid Sea-Air-Space Museum. The neighborhood was once known as Hell's Kitchen, where much West Side Story was filmed. CBS, Sony Records, syndicated talk shows and major recording studios now make the neighborhood their home.
The hotel's 1050 Restaurant and Lounge, decked out in cheerful peach and yellow, specializes in Italian and American cuisine. In addition, guests can patronize many full-service restaurants in the area. Concierges will help guests land hard-to-get Broadway tickets, arrange transportation to the airport and bag dinner reservations.
Families and other travelers looking for a superb location close to the action and guestrooms that don't resemble matchboxes will delight in the Skyline Hotel, where "accommodation" and "spacious" do go together.
