  • Gramercy Park Hotel
    United States Attorney Southern District of New York FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: U.S. ATTORNEY'S OFFICE SEPTEMBER 15, 2011 ELLEN DAVIS, CARLY SULLIVAN, JERIKA RICHARDSON PUBLIC INFORMATION OFFICE (212) 637-2600 MANHATTAN U.S. ATTORNEY SETTLES CIVIL RIGHTS LAWSUIT AGAINST GRAMERCY PARK HOTEL PREET BHARARA, the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, announced that the United States has filed, and simultaneously settled, a federal civil rights lawsuit alleging that the owners and operators of the GRAMERCY PARK HOTEL, a historic, luxury hotel in Manhattan, discriminated against persons with disabilities and repeatedly violated the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 ("ADA"). As part of the settlement, the hotel owner, GPH MANAGEMENT, LLC, and operator, RFR HOTEL GROUP, LLC, agreed to remove barriers that impeded the accessibility of the hotel, to change hotel policies to benefit persons with disabilities, and to pay penalties. The settlement agreement, in the form of a consent decree, was approved late yesterday by U.S. District Judge ROBERT W. SWEET. Manhattan U.S. Attorney PREET BHARARA stated: "New York City hosts millions of visitors each year, and it is essential that our hotels are open and accessible to all. This agreement helps ensure that individuals with disabilities will have the same access to hotel accommodations that are enjoyed by others." According to the Complaint filed September 7, 2011, in Manhattan federal court: The GRAMERCY PARK HOTEL, located at 2 Lexington Avenue in Manhattan, repeatedly violated the ADA and discriminated against persons with disabilities by refusing to accommodate the needs of a guest with a hearing impairment, failing to remove barriers to access, and renovating the hotel in violation of the ADA.

  • Fall Hospitality Report Manhattan 2015
    FALL HOSPITALITY REPORT (2015) MANHATTAN FALL HOSPITALITY REPORT MANHATTAN 2015 1 | P a g e FALL HOSPITALITY REPORT (2015) MANHATTAN EXECUTIVE SUMMARY According to the Starr report, Manhattan’s hotel sector has been growing by over 4.0 % since 2010 both by ADR and number of rooms. The demand still far exceeds supply especially for 5 star brands. Early in the hotel recovery in 2011, three star brands grew in number of rooms and ADR initially. As the recovery went into full swing by late 2013, four and five star hotel development continued to outpace three star hotel growth. Global investors are seeking five star hotel product in Manhattan and at $1.0 million up to $2.0 million per key. For instance, Chinese investors bought the Waldorf Astoria and the Baccarat Hotels both at substantially above $1.0 million per key. Manhattan is one of the best hotel markets in the world between growing tourism and inexpensive accommodations compared to other global gateway cities like London, Paris, Moscow, Hong Kong, etc. Any established global hotel brand also requires a presence in Manhattan. In 2014 alone, 4,348 keys were added to Manhattan’s existing 108,592 rooms. Currently, another 14,272 rooms are under construction in the city and about 4000 keys (1/3) are for boutique hotels. As of July 2015, the Manhattan market has approximately 118,000 keys. They are segmented as follows: Currently, there is a 4.0% annual compounded growth rate. Despite this growth, demand for hotel rooms from tourism, conventions, cultural events, and corporate use continues to grow as Manhattan is one of the most desirable locations for all of the above uses especially tourism from Asia and Europe.

Date 1 GREGORY Sing Sing Correctional Facility, Summer 2010 I’m not the kind of guy who customarily goes around beating his chest but after my ex changed the locks on our brownstone I drove to the Verizon in McGinley Square where I mumbled at a clerk, “Gimme a phone before I kill myself!” “Sir,” she said, “you have to get in line.” She waved me away in tandem with her ponytail’s sway. Hey pretty pony. How'd you like it if I led you close and whiffed your Herbal Essence? Hey pretty, pretty. I edged up to the counter once more.

  • We Are America's Travel Industry, A
    The Honorable Mitch McConnell The Honorable Nancy Pelosi Majority Leader Speaker of the House of Representatives United States Senate United States House of Representatives Washington, DC 20510 Washington, DC 20510 The Honorable Charles Schumer The Honorable Kevin McCarthy Minority Leader Minority Leader United States Senate United States House of Representatives Washington, DC 20510 Washington, DC 20510 March 20, 2020 Dear Leader McConnell, Leader Schumer, Speaker Pelosi, and Leader McCarthy: We are America’s travel industry, an economic sector that directly employs 9 million American workers and supports a total of 15.8 million jobs. The travel and tourism industry—including but not limited to transportation, lodging, recreation and entertainment, food and beverage, meetings, conferences and business events, travel advisors, destination marketers—is comprised of businesses of all sizes, but the vast majority, 83%, are small businesses. Together we are grappling with the immediate and devastating impact of the current health crisis. Furloughs of American travel workers are happening right now. Travel to and within the United States has essentially ground to a stop due to the actions needed to halt the spread of coronavirus. Aggressive financial relief is needed immediately. Taking care of our employees will always be our top priority, but the hard fact is we cannot continue supporting them through this disaster without relief. To that end, we greatly appreciate and strongly support provisions in the ‘‘Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act’’ that provide: • $300 billion for enhanced Small Business Administration (SBA) loans distributed through an expedited process and can be partially forgiven for employee retention; and • Tax relief to mitigate economic losses, including deferral of tax liability, extension of the Net Operating Loss deduction, and delay of estimated tax payments.
