| Unveiled in 1961 in front of a crowd
that included Judy Garland and Noël Coward, the Metropolitan
Hotel - then called The Summit - was the talk of the town
for its ideal midtown location and tropical deco look. Designed
by famed architect Morris Lapidus, the building’s curving
façade coated in seafoam-colored brick was an extreme
contrast to the somber hues and straight lines of the surrounding
skyscrapers. During the next two decades, the bright colors
were traded in for muted tones and the name was changed to
Loews New York Hotel. But one thing remained the same: The
hotel’s popularity with people seeking a prime Manhattan
location as a base for their city travels. Today, the original
deco glory of the hotel has been restored and refined with
21st century amenities - including high-speed check-in, high-tech
connections, and brand-new business facilities. |
