PARSIPPANY, NJ – Wyndham Hotels and Resorts, a subsidiary of Wyndham Worldwide (NYSE:WYN), welcomed its newest location, the newly constructed 280-room Fashion 26 – A Wyndham Hotel (top left photo) on West 26th Street in New York City’s Chelsea neighborhood and nearby Fashion District.
The latest addition to Manhattan’s hotel cityscape, the fashion-themed hotel offers distinctive services and amenities including signature Crumbs® cupcakes at check-in, innovative dining at specialty hamburger haven RARE Bar & Grill, and radio-frequency guest room keys that unlock doors with the wave of a hand.
The 22-story glass and steel tower, conceived by Peter F. Poon Architect P.C., stands across from the Fashion Institute of Technology, the hotel’s neighbor on the opposite side of Seventh Avenue. Designer Glen Coben took inspiration from the Fashion District’s history for the hotel’s fashionable look and style. Coben’s custom-designed wooden reception desk in the hotel’s lobby was modeled after a fashion studio cutting-room table, with iron legs common to old-fashioned sewing tables.
“Having worked on this project since its inception two years ago, it is wonderful to see this unique combination of fashion, hospitality and exemplary service come to fruition,” said Paul Celnik, founder of Mode Hospitality, which manages the hotel and assembled a seasoned executive team led by General Manager Wayne Schneider.
In celebration of the hotel’s opening, introductory room rates begin at $299 through June 31, 2010, a commemorative 26% savings. Fashion 26 - A Wyndham Hotel is now accepting reservations at www.wyndham.com or (800) WYNDHAM. For more information, visit www.F26NYC.com.
