The highly anticipated Hard Rock Hotel New York opened for business April 25. The 446-room hotel is located in the heart of Midtown Manhattan in close proximity to distinct landmarks such as Radio City Music Hall, Rockefeller Center and the city’s Theater District.

“New York City is one of the greatest cities in the world and we are honored to open our doors to locals and travelers looking for a best in class hotel, dining, and entertainment experience,” Jim Allen, chairman of Hard Rock International and CEO of Seminole Gaming, said in a statement. “Hard Rock has had a presence for decades in the city, but this location will deliver an entirely new experience from the brand that’s been synonymous with music and entertainment for over 50 years.”

Hard Rock operates its signature cafes in both Times Square and at Yankee Stadium. It was in Times Square where tribal members joined Allen in 2007 to announce that the Seminole Tribe had purchased Hard Rock for $965 million.

The hotel features live music options within a two-floor entertainment space and a variety of restaurants, including the RT60 rooftop bar and lounge on the 34th floor.

The Seminole Tribe is the parent entity of Hard Rock International. For more information and to make reservations, click here or go to hardrockhotels.com.
