  • 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.

  • Hilary & Hazel in the Us
    HILARY & HAZEL IN THE US Yvonne Cocking Paper presented at the Annual General Meeting of the Barbara Pym Society St Hilda’s College, Oxford, 3-4 September 2016 In the 3 or 4 years following Barbara Pym’s death the popularity of her novels in the United States rose to extraordinary heights. Before she died only three of her books had been published there, by Dutton in hard-backed editions – Quartet in Autumn and Excellent Women in 1978, and The Sweet Dove Died in 1979. The paperback rights of these three titles were sold to Harper and Row, who retailed about 12,000 copies in five months. In October 1980 Paul de Angelis, Senior Editor at Dutton, wrote to James Wright at Macmillan, Barbara’s English publisher I thought you would be interested to know that we have now sold the paperback rights for A Few Green Leaves to Harper and Row. The advance, as for the earlier books, is $2,000. They are also taking on A Glass of Blessings...I enclose a copy of a sort of ‘round-up’ review of the Pym oeuvre which just appeared in The Washington Post Book World. I’m told that The New York Times Book Review plans a similar overview article soon. In January 1982, Paul de Angelis, still calling her Miss Walton at this stage, wrote to Hilary As you no doubt know, Barbara Pym’s works have now generated an entire cult-like following, especially among professors of English, but not only they. Though hard-cover sales remain modest (mostly in the 6000-copy range) the soft covers put out under licence to Harper Perennial Library are selling very well.
