Kixby is a newly minted luxury boutique hotel just opened in a reimagined 1901 building that was home to the Hotel Metro. Previous guests of the Metro will be delighted to find the same team is responsible for this ‘rebirth’ and promises all of the same attention to service and detail in a new and elevated experience. Kixby’s location in Herald Square, the heart of midtown Manhattan, is around the corner from the Empire State Building, a two-minute walk to Macy’s and 10-minute walk to Times Square. Eight subway lines and three bus routes stop at the corner, facilitating transportation to attractions around the entire city. Accommodation: The newly renovated Lux floors feature bedrooms with 10’ ceilings, thoughtfully designed with custom made furniture, laptop safe, mini fridge, and bedside outlets with USB ports. Bathrooms of sparkling marble have oversize showers with rain shower heads, make-up mirrors and lighted vanity mirrors. Metro category rooms represent excellent value, and all rooms are equipped with in room safe, minifridge, marble bathrooms, hair dryers, and iron and ironing boards. Facilities: Fitness room, rooftop bar with views of the Empire State Building (open seasonally), Lobby Bar, and Black Tap Craft Burgers and Beer, where hotel guests enjoy “skip the line” seating.
