Event Location:

A prominent landmark situated on Madison Avenue and 45th Street in midtown New York City, The Roosevelt Hotel was named in honor of President Theodore Roosevelt. The New York City hotel opened September 22, 1924 and just celebrated its 80th anniversary in 2004.

Its historic heritage is reflected in the meticulously restored interiors, designed to capture the original architecture and offer modern-day amenities.

Convenient to Grand Central Station, JFK and Newark Liberty International and LaGuardia airports, The Roosevelt Hotel is situated right where the business district meets the Theater and 5th Avenue shopping districts, giving you the freedom to walk to Rockefeller Center, Empire State Building, the Metropolitan Museum of Art and scores of other famous New York City attractions.

Travel:

The Roosevelt Hotel is accessible via taxi and shuttle service from La Guardia, JFK, and Newark international airports.  See New York’s Metropolitan Transit Authority website for interactive map of the city’s subway system, as well as downloadable bus maps.

Meals:

NN/g will provide a continental breakfast, and refreshments during breaks.

For lunch and dinner, the hotel itself offers two options: Roosevelt Grill, and the Madison Club Lounge. Of course Manhattan also features myriad dining possibilities for all budgets and tastes. Here are two excellent, local sources for guidance:
