EVENTI, A KIMPTON HOTEL, BRINGS
NEW LIFE TO NEW YORK’S
NORTH CHELSEA NEIGHBORHOOD
New York, NY – February
10, 2010 – Set to open in spring 2010,
Eventi, A Kimpton Hotel, will bring a new vitality to New York City’s North
Chelsea neighborhood as the area’s first luxurious hotel with a dynamic energy
and personality of its own.
Managed by leading hotel operator, Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants, the
292-room hotel represents the company’s fourth completely unique hotel in New
York City. Eventi is designed for today’s
forward-looking traveler, offering both business and leisure guests an
intriguing experience in bold public spaces and artfully designed
accommodations. The hotel is now taking reservations for stays arriving June 1,
2010 and a special “Preview Rate” can be booked online at www.eventihotel.com. Guests can also
sign-up to be fans of the hotel on Facebook and receive regular updates by
visiting http://www.facebook.com/EventiHotel.
Eventi’s soaring 54-story exterior adds an impressive silhouette to the Manhattan
skyline, with the new glass tower occupying the entire block of Avenue of the
Americas between 29th and 30th Streets.
The property’s ideal location in North Chelsea, New York’s newest
happening neighborhood, puts guests just minutes from some of the city’s most
popular landmarks including the Empire State Building, Madison Square Garden, Macy’s and the city’s theaters,
restaurants, museums and shopping.
“Eventi will be a place that feels alive, with a heart beat that pulses
with creativity and sends energy to every corner of the hotel,” says Thomas
Mathes, general manager of Eventi.
“Guests of Eventi will experience a vibrancy and excitement that
transforms a place to stay into a cosmopolitan lifestyle.”
Created by award-wining designer Colum McCartan, Eventi’s striking
design is rich and luxurious with custom-made furnishings, combining classic
elegance and cutting-edge modern touches.
Guests can anticipate a sensory journey of discovery and pleasant
surprises throughout the property. Eventi captures the visitor’s attention, from
the front desk’s partially unveiled painting to a mysterious curiosity cabinet,
inviting exploration and providing an aesthetic connectivity. Original art from well-known artist
Barbara Nessim will be on display inside the hotel rooms and public spaces,
including a compelling contemporary artwork that spans the height of the third
and fourth floors. The hotel’s
lobby area also will offer Kimpton’s signature “Living Room” concept, incorporating
a fireplace and comfortable seating areas for lounging while enjoying daily
hosted wine hours.
The Eventi lifestyle soothes even as it stimulates and inspires; it is
sophisticated yet comfortable, subtle and luxurious. Interiors of the guest rooms and suites are warm and
welcoming, providing an oasis of comfort in a city of sometimes overwhelming
proportions. Each room will feature
such amenities as LCD flat screen televisions, iHome Sound Systems, high speed
wireless Internet access and 24-hour in-room dining. Fans of Kimpton’s
signature programs and amenities will find their favorites at Eventi, from
specialized customer care to the Mind.Body.Spa and InTouch guest loyalty
programs. Other popular features
include On-Demand yoga (with yoga accessories available for guest use),
Pilates, meditation channels, a 24-hour fitness center overlooking the outdoor
plaza and a 530-car parking garage with valet service.
Eventi embraces its setting and local character and transforms it into
an experience that defines cosmopolitan urbanity. Adjacent to the outdoor public plaza is an impressive
20-foot-wide multi-media art screen to be used for public and private events, a
feature that celebrates North Chelsea’s vibrancy and urban rhythm. Dining options at Eventi will be
operated by China Grill Management, operators of well regarded restaurants such
as China Grill, Asia de Cuba and Blue Door at Delano. The lower level will include
a 20,000-square-foot multilevel Food Parc and bar, with counter, table and
outdoor seating in the public plaza. The Food Parc will offer an array of
distinctive and branded high-quality food options. Due to open in fall 2010,
the second level will feature a restaurant that offers New York's first
contemporary Basque cuisine in a futuristic setting, with indoor and outdoor
dining and a specialty bar serving a unique collection of whiskies and
spirits.
Turning common business into enjoyable and productive experiences,
Eventi offers atypical and creative meeting and event spaces where business
travelers can work efficiently or socialize in a playful and inviting
atmosphere. With more than 15,000
square feet of multi-faceted meeting space, including three outdoor terraces,
Eventi’s inspiring settings stand above the competitive clutter in New
York. Business travelers also have
the advantage of the hotel’s central location, providing easy access to Penn
Station, Grand Central and the city’s business and financial centers.
