One UN NY completes renovations

Millennium Hotels and Resorts has announced the completion of a £58 million renovation to its North American flagship hotel, One UN New York. Situated at the heart of the International United Nations Headquarter enclave, and originally designed by Kevin Roche, the process bring back to life a property that has welcomed world leaders, diplomats and heads of state since its opening in 1976.

The renovation encompasses all 439 guestrooms, suites, meetings and event spaces, public areas, and the Ambassador Grill Restaurant and Bar.

Throughout the project, Millennium Hotels and Resorts collaborated with architect and interior design consultants Didier Gomez Interiors and Dyami Architecture PC. The transformation has resulted in significant front-of-house improvements along with upgraded facilities and equipment, enhancing the overall guest experience.

The spacious interiors of the redesigned guestrooms and suites are characterised by warm bronze and taupe hues. Ranging from 240ft² to a generous 510ft², each space combines understated luxury with modern amenities.

Paul Rene Lee, General Manager of One UN New York, comments: “We are delighted with the outcome of the recent renovation to One UN New York. The complete transformation is a testament to our concerted effort to ensure that our guest experience remains unparalleled, without having compromised the rich history and heritage of the hotel.”

Situated opposite the International United Nations Headquarter, One UN New York boasts panoramic views across the Manhattan skyline to one side, and sweeping views of the East River to the other.

Colin Wang, Vice President of Operations, North America concluded: “The renovation of One UN New York demonstrates our commitment to continued investment in our portfolio of hotels in North America. The renovations completed to date support our goal to maintain our high reputation among discerning travellers, and to become the hotel of choice in the markets we have a presence in.”
