A message from Susan Summa, director
Step
off high-energy 7th Ave into
a serene oasis. We've
landed at our new home for Atelier! We are just several blocks south
of our former location, at the corner of 7th and 47th Avenues. Our new
hotel partner, the Doubletree Guest Suites,
is eager to welcome our show to their doors. This marquee Doubletree is
an all-suites hotel with 460 rooms, some of the largest hotel rooms in
Midtown Manhattan. There are 12 suites per floor: 10 Standard and
2 Conference suites. (You'll find photos
and floorplans here on our website.)
Yes, we are near Times Square and the excitement of Broadway, but the Doubletree has a unique plan for maintaining a secure, relaxing environment for its guests. Enter the hotel's revolving doors into an elegant Lower Lobby staffed by hotel security. Only guests of the hotel, and their parties, are allowed access to the Main Lobby and hotel suites above. The light-filled Main Lobby is an open atrium three stories high. We'll be greeting buyers at our own Atelier registration desk here in the lobby. A coffee/snack kiosk stands nearby, as well as restrooms. The restaurant, bar and cafe on the 5th floor offers an 'on location' pit stop for busy buyers, with its broad menu and reasonable prices. As guests, we can take advantage of the well equipped business center on the 4th floor.
Of course, more news and details will be forthcoming But for now, let
me just say 'welcome to our new neighborhood!'
.... Susan
