NEW YORK – July 7, 2021 – Margaritaville Resort Times Square, the newest addition to the Margaritaville Lodging portfolio is now open to the public. The 32-story hotel will transport guests to an island oasis in the middle of Manhattan and features 234 guestrooms, five restaurants and bars, a year-round outdoor heated pool, and a street-level Margaritaville retail store.
“We cannot wait to welcome local New Yorkers and the city’s global travelers to Margaritaville Resort Times Square,” said Kori Yoran, General Manager. “The resort brings paradise to the island of Manhattan and offers something for everyone from families to happy hour with friends.”
The property’s numerous restaurants and bars will have guests channeling Margaritaville’s authentic “no worries” vibe. The two-story Margaritaville Restaurant features New York’s largest Tiki Bar and a 32-foot replica of the landmark Statue of Liberty playfully holding a margarita in place of her torch. The margarita glass itself is a custom-made LED screen that shows an original work featuring iconic Jimmy Buffett songs paired with iconic Manhattan visuals and a touch of the tropics. Home to Times Square’s only year-round outdoor heated pool, LandShark Bar & Grill brings the beach to Manhattan with a menu of poolside eats and drinks. License to Chill Bar greets guests upon arrival to the seventh-floor lobby with indoor-outdoor seating and cozy fire pits on the terrace with a unique digital view of Times Square. The lobby also features Joe’s Merchant Coffee & Provisions for a quick bite or coffee on the go. Sitting atop the 31st and 32nd floor, 5 o’Clock Somewhere Bar offers jaw-dropping, 360-degree views and a sophisticated, playful menu of light bites and craft cocktails.
With architecture by Stonehill Taylor and interior design by The McBride Company, the newly built property combines the vibrance of New York City with the iconic Margaritaville state of mind. Margaritaville and The McBride Company developed custom artwork for the property inspired by the city’s incredible art collections with a Margaritaville touch. Pieces include the “Dripping 5 o’Clock,” a nod to Salvador Dali’s famous clock painting, and a Roy Lichtenstein-inspired print titled “Darling…This Looks Just Like Margaritaville” that pays homage to Lichtenstein’s famous work Masterpiece, Margaritaville, and the nearby Jones Beach. Additional design touches include green, coral and soft blue hues inspired by urban seasides, crisp white signature Margaritaville bed linens, and soundproof windows to provide a true retreat from the hustle and bustle of the city.
“The opening of Margaritaville Resort Times Square is an incredible moment for the hundreds of team members involved in this property and for the city of New York after such a challenging year,” says Sharif El-Gamal, Chairman and CEO of Soho Properties and Owner and Developer of Margaritaville Resort Times Square. “This resort will provide an unparalleled getaway never before experienced in Manhattan and we are thrilled to be welcoming guests today and for years to come.”
Located at the corner of Seventh Avenue and West 40th Street, Margaritaville Resort Times Square is blocks away from the bright lights of the bustling entertainment district and New York’s most notable attractions, shopping and museums. Regular live music and entertainment throughout the property will keep the energy high year-round.
