Hotel rooftop development is not a new phenomenon. The TAO Group, the operator of several popular restaurants and nightclubs in New York and Las Vegas, is Lightstone’s partner on food, beverage and entertainment. Its owner, the Lightstone Group, worked with the Rockwell Group to develop the rooftop’s amenities, including views of the Empire State Building, an all-season bar, topiaries of bears in naughty poses, a carousel for up to 16 guests and a miniature golf course. Originally a hotel for immigrant construction workers, the building was converted to commercial office space. Stephen Brandman, co-owner and chief executive of Journal Hotels, which operates the Mondrian Park Avenue, has teamed up with Richie Akiva of the night life company Butter Group to operate Fifteen Stories.Įven more elaborate is the Magic Hour Rooftop Bar and Lounge, a 10,000-square-foot “urban amusement park” atop Marriott International’s Moxy Times Square, which occupies a 1906 building at Seventh Avenue and 36th Street. The hotel’s former rooftop is now a lounge called Fifteen Stories, with a 3,000-square-foot space enclosed by a glass structure and a 2,000-square-foot wraparound terrace overlooking both Park Avenue South and 30th Street. The 189-room Mondrian Park Avenue, at 30th Street and Park Avenue South, occupies what was once a 15-story office building, to which five stories have been added. Two new Manhattan hotels feature one of the hottest and most highly coveted amenities in the hospitality industry: rooftop venues that offer food, drink, entertainment and spectacular views.
