Hotel Boutique officially opens its doors this week in New York City as part of the Downtown Collection, a portfolio of six boutique hotels in prime locations in New York, Chicago and London. This newly built, full-service hotel has approximately 100 rooms and is centrally located on the corner of Lexington Avenue and East 45th Street, across from Grand Central Terminal. Featuring a sleek design and the latest in-room-technology, Hotel Boutique is the ideal New York City hotel for business travel as well as sightseeing, offering uniquely designed guest rooms and meeting spaces, an award winning restaurant on-site, and a host of complimentary amenities to enhance the guest experience.
Hotel Boutique is specifically designed to cater to the needs of the frequent business traveler, millennial traveler or the tourist desiring to be in the heart of Midtown, while providing sought after guest amenities. Fresh and high tech accommodations at Hotel Boutique are designed with modern, clean lines and warm colors and offer premium bedding. Many rooms feature a custom designed dining/living/work space coined the in-room “activity center.” Created per traveler feedback, this section of the room offers wrap-around sectional seating, desk chair and swiveling table with integrated power and cabling so that guests can relax, work and dine, while watching television or enjoying the outdoor view, instead of allowing the bed to perform for all three functions. Many rooms offer floor-to-ceiling outer glass with views south to the Chrysler Building, east to Grand Central’s historic architecture or north to the east side’s iconic skyline.
Complimentary services at Hotel Boutique are specially chosen to meet the needs of the modern traveler. In addition to a fitness room, on property, guests have the option to have exercise equipment such as yoga gear, portable bike or treadmill delivered to the room. High speed Wi-Fi access is available throughout the hotel, along with iPads for loan while a registered guest.

For additional amenities, a 24-hour Guest Service Desk is located in the lobby of Hotel Boutique.
Guests of Hotel Boutique have access to the on-site Davio’s Italian steakhouse, the first New York location of the Boston-based restaurant.

For business travelers, as well as local corporations, Hotel Boutique also offers two innovative private meeting and function rooms with flexible furniture that can be configured for a casual living room discussion to a formal board meeting. Ideal for brainstorming sessions, corporate meetings, mock trials, project “war rooms”, and seminars, the meeting rooms at Hotel Boutique are perfect for developing fresh perspectives and have the option to be catered by Davio’s.
