Located opposite the United Nations, the Millennium UN Plaza's ultra-modern glass-and-steel high-rise overlooks the East River and offers wonderful views in a city where most hotels overlook neighboring buildings. What's more, the Millennium is four blocks from Grand Central Station, six blocks from Broadway's bright lights, and conveniently located near Queen's Midtown tunnel for easy transportation throughout the city.

With such a worldly address, the Millennium UN Plaza naturally hosts heads of state, diplomats, dignitaries, but also flight crews, tourists and business travelers who appreciate the convenience to Midtown Manhattan. Visitors can even buy U.N. stamps personalized with their own photos in the U.N. Building's public visitor area. The stamps are valid for postage on mail from U.N. offices in New York. The Millennium also boasts one of the city's best fitness facilities, indoor lap pool, massage and sauna area, and an indoor tennis court. The indoor lap pool is a rarity in the New York City hotel world. In addition, staff at the theater desk will help guests land tickets to Broadway shows, sporting events and other attractions. For dining, the hotel's Ambassador Grill, a favorite of U.N. diplomats, specializes in American and continental cuisine, including Filet Mignon, Penne Pasta with Portobello Mushrooms, Steak Frites and Maine Crab Cake.

Meanwhile, guests will feel their rooms are upscale residential apartments permeated by a sophisticated ambience. Asian-inspired rooms are on floors 29-40 of the West Tower. Contemporary rooms take up floors 28-38 of the East Tower. West Tower rooms feature tapestries donated by U.N. members, marble baths with massaging showerheads, Asian-style fabrics and art, and kitchenettes or vanities. East Tower rooms offer contemporary light-wood furniture, glass-topped desks, wall-to-wall windows, marble baths with massage showerheads, and photos of New York sites.
