Westin New York Grand Central has opened its doors following a $75 million makeover of the former New York Helmsley Hotel. The property’s 774 guestrooms now feature the brand’s clean signature design and a host of eco-friendly elements, including LED and CFL lights, low-flow plumbing fixtures, recyclable carpet pads, low-VOC finishes, and GreenGuard-certified solar shades.
More than 12,000 square feet of renovated function space includes four new break-out rooms and an expanded 4,100 square-foot ballroom with sweeping city views. All rooms received new carpeting and lighting while preserving some of the hotel’s historic elements such as wood paneling and New York photography from the hotel’s original decoration. Coming soon is the LCL: Bar & Kitchen, NYC from Gerber Group.
