Make The Most Of Your NYC Summer With A Stay At The Knickerbocker Hotel
New York prides itself on affording access to the excess. And there’s plenty for the city to be boastful about when it comes to the perfect summer getaway.
A haven of sophistication with contemporary design by acclaimed interior designer Gabellini Sheppard, the Beaux Arts monument to New York’s coming of age is situated on the famed corner of 42nd Street and Broadway.
The Knickerbocker boasts 330 guest rooms including 31 suites and four Tribute Suites; a signature restaurant and bar, Charlie Palmer at The Knick; St. Cloud, the hotel’s rooftop bar; an event space for up to 160 guests; a ground-level coffee shop and café, Jake’s; and a state-of-the art fitness center.
Channeling the glamour of New York City’s Gilded Age and as envisioned by John Jacob Astor IV at the turn of the 20th century, the hotel heralds the return of refined elegance to Times Square today.
The 1906 building, once host to such notables as John D. Rockefeller and F. Scott Fitzgerald, is now a luxury oasis with unrivaled city views of the bright lights of Broadway and Bryant Park. The Knickerbocker reopened its doors in February 2015 following an expansive renovation and is located at 6 Times Square, New York, NY 10036.

St. Cloud proudly serves the original martini. It all began in 1906 when John D. Rockefeller, a regular patron of The Knickerbocker Hotel in NYC, was introduced to a groundbreaking libation from bartender Martini di Arma di Taggia. This cocktail was so remarkable that Rockefeller bestowed it with the bartender’s name, forever etching the martini into history. Or so the legend goes…
