There’s No Place Like Hilton
or the businessperson on the go or the vacationer
who wants to take in all that New York has to o;er,
Conrad Hilton, founder of Hilton Hotels,
knew this when he personally chose the site for the
legendary Hilton New York in 1963, and knowledge-
able travelers have been discovering it ever since, with
an all-but-perfect midtown location that puts them moments
away from Times Square and Broadway theaters, Rockefeller
Center, Radio City Music Hall, Central Park, Fifth Avenue
shopping, the Museum of Modern Art and countless other
Manhattan destinations.
If you’ve never stayed at the Hilton New York, or if it’s
been a while since your last visit, you owe it to yourself to
take a new look at a hotel that’s been going through some
exciting changes. Because location, location, location isn’t the
only thing Hilton New York has going for it. This is a hotel
that is doing pioneering work in environmental sustainability;
has taken its cuisine to a whole new level; and has more
than ever to o;er businesses and groups in need of quality
meeting space.
At Hilton New York, sustainability means more than
rhetoric—it means serious, tangible steps taken to reduce
energy use, carbon dioxide emissions and waste. Those steps
include the state-of-the-art, energy-saving fuel cell installed
on the roof (for which the Avenue of the Americas Associa-
tion recognized the hotel with its inaugural “Green Street”
Award), the use of nontoxic cleaning products and even small
but important touches such as biodegradable key cards. At a
time when travelers are looking to reduce their environmental
footprint, Hilton is taking the lead.
