At New Affinia Shelburne Guests Experience a Real New York Point of...

When the Affinia Shelburne, a Cityscape hotel, debuts in June, following a two-year, $25 million renovation of the former Shelburne Murray Hill, it will offer guests a real insider'ss view of New York. From the newly designed lobby, which features small, comfortable welcoming areas and living room-like space, to the in-room modern granite pantries in most guest rooms, to the rooftop bar, to special podcast walking tours that showcase the city'ss neighborhoods, the 268-room Affinia Shelburne will offer guests an escape from the city while providing insider'ss access to everything the city has to offer.

Guests visiting the Affinia Shelburne during its opening months can partake in the New York Point of View Summer Package, which includes a special room rate, a $50 My Affinia credit to customize the stay; complimentary breakfast, including the signature weekend Jazz Brunch at the hotel'ss Rare Restaurant; two cocktails at the hotel'ss rooftop bar, Rare View, and a discount on entry to Birdland Jazz Club through Affinia'ss e-concierge. The package will be offered from Memorial Day through Labor Day weekend. Rates start at $269 and the package can be reserved through booking code AHRTB.

New York offers incredible jazz and some of the best clubs are in the city'ss lesser known neighborhoods, said Glenda Maldonado, Assistant General Manager at the Affinia Shelburne hotel. We hope guests will take advantage and see the city from a real New Yorkers point of view.

The Affinia Shelburne received a top-to-bottom renovation including a full redesign and reconfiguring of the hotel'ss guest rooms as well as an entirely new lobby. The lobby was reconfigured to offer comfortable living-room like spaces. The theme is based on friends and family sharing time together in the hotel as a residential retreat from the urban experience outside. Thus, the patterns and colors are natural and warm - bright reds, golds, dark browns and spots of green. The new guest rooms are urban, classic and comfortable, with an open floor plan and modern, in-room granite pantries, as well as custom in-room vanity/wardrobes with well-lit dressing areas. All the furnishings were custom-designed and the carpets and flooring are LEED rated. Like its sister Affinia Hotels featuring the Cityscape experience in Washington, D.C. and Chicago, the Affinia Shelburne will offer guests an urban escape centering on a rooftop lounge, Rare View, with an outside terrace to which guests can escape to relax, socialize, work or host a private party. The restaurant Rare, located on the hotel'ss lobby level, is a local favorite, called a burger heaven by Cityscape.

The hotel features a range of Affinia-branded services and amenities to meet the needs of each guest, including:
