Smile NEW YORK | 223 West 46th Street | FT | 34 FLOORS (Marriott SpringHill Hotel)

Marriott SpringHill Hotel Announced For 223 West 46th Street In Times Square



Quote:
McSam Hotel Group will break ground in January on a new Marriott Hotel property in Times Square. Located at 223 West 46th Street between Broadway and Eighth Avenue, the 200-key Marriott SpringHill is designed by Gene Kaufman Architects and replaces a former parking lot.

Renderings from the architect illustrate a slender, gray building with a setback above the lobby level. The guest rooms will have balcony or terrace access, and visitors will have access to a garden-level fitness center, a ground-floor restaurant with outdoor seating, and a rear yard.

According to the architect, the building will rise “at least 26 stories,” however, the most updated renderings show 34 full floors. The complete structure will reportedly comprise 70,000 square feet.

“This hotel is just one of our recent contributions to Midtown Manhattan, which is home to many GKA-designed hotels and draws an increasing number of visitors each year,” said Gene Kaufman, founder of Gene Kaufman Architects. “With NYC tourism showing no signs of stopping, it’s incumbent upon us as a city to provide ample mid-priced hotels for a variety of visitors who want to experience New York.”

The property is the latest to arrive from longtime collaborators McSam Hotel Group and Gene Kaufman Architects.

At this time, the project team has not confirmed a completion date for the hotel.

If you want to see/hear Gene in the flesh (I don't recommend it) but here you go. It goes a long way to explaining his, uh, oeuvre.

If this city had an OUNCE of self-respect it would have ridden Gene The Hack out on a rail years ago.

I like this type of tower. Good use of space and fleshes out the hotel market. Stuff like this has been getting built for decades, I stayed in a tower pretty much the same as this on my first trip to New York. Very dense.

Not as bad as I expected, to be honest. Not saying it's good by any stretch of the imagination, just not as horrible as I expected, and fits right in with it's neighbor, The W.
