NEW YORK”S ROOSEVELT HOTEL, situated just by Grand Central Station, and within ten minutes walk of Times Square, has just completed a $3m renovation programme to its one thousand guest rooms and suites. The hotel, built in 1924, still retains a traditional feel particularly the huge lobby area with its chandeliers and palm court concept. If you don”t want to use the services within the hotel there are 24 hour cafes and shops literally outside the door. The Grand Ballroom can take up to 800 people and the smaller Terrace Room 400. It features in the excellent Jennifer Lopez and Ralph Fiennes comedy film Maid in Manhatten. http://www.theroosevelthotel.com
