Innside Manhattan will be housed in a 20-story new-ground-up-construction building on West 27th Street, which is located between Sixth and Seventh Avenues and is close to the Empire State Building, Times Square, the Penn Station and Madison Square Garden.

The new Innside is expected to complement the increasing development surrounding the NoMad area. The hotel will have 313 rooms, a three-meal restaurant, bar and meeting rooms.

Melia Americas VP Alvaro Tejeda said that the significance of the property to the group is profound, and the German-originated brand will bring a fresh and innovative hotel concept to North America.

"With MHI’s aggressive strategy for the growth and development of Innside as an international brand whose versatility and functionality, as well as profitability, offers true assets for developers, we have been able to leverage new business opportunities and projects within Europe, China, Indonesia and Latin America," Tejeda added.
