Opened in the summer of 2010, the new 607-room, 36-story InterContinental
New York Times Square has risen at 44th Street and Eighth Avenue, in the
heart of midtown Manhattan's Theater District. Featuring Chef Todd English's
Ça Va restaurant, Shake Shack's Times Square outpost and 10,000 square
feet of meeting space, the InterContinental New York Times Square joins
New York City's newest contemporary architectural icons along the dynamic
Eighth Avenue corridor. Gensler's design draws from two distinctly New York
neighborhoods. White glass along Eighth Avenue reflects the movement and
shimmer of the thoroughfare, while warm-toned granite on the 44th Street
façade relates to adjacent residential buildings.
