Hilton New York, Skyscraper in Manhattan, US
The New York Hilton Midtown is a 47-story tower on Avenue of the Americas that contains over 2,000 guest rooms and suites. The building features multiple restaurants, a fitness center, and extensive meeting spaces for conferences.
The hotel opened in 1963 from a design by architect William B. Tabler and was the largest in New York City at that time. Its construction marked a turning point in the city's hotel development during rapid growth in the Midtown area.
The hotel functions as a gathering place where international visitors connect during conferences and events throughout the year. Its public spaces reflect the style of a major business and convention hub in central Manhattan.
The building sits in a central location with direct access to public transportation and is easily walkable from nearby landmarks. The area around Avenue of the Americas offers good navigation points and abundant nearby shops and restaurants.
The sidewalk outside the hotel was where the world's first call on a handheld cellular phone took place in 1973. This technological milestone happened right in front of one of Manhattan's most recognizable buildings.
