The Gershwin is a tourist-class hotel, located in the heart of the historic Flatiron district, the birthplace of the Manhattan skyscraper. The lobby shines with original pop art, including an actual Campbell's soup can autographed by Andy Warhol, the hotel's artistic godfather. At the front desk, the guest is welcomed by the friendly, young and culturally diverse staff, who themselves boast a formidable array of languages. A multi- media complex unto itself, the hotel also includes an in-house cabaret, "the Living Room," which features live music, stand up comedy and theater performances several nights a week.
The first floor also features an art gallery, which presents extraordinary exhibitions of work by significant emerging and established artists. There is also a Grotto-like bar were guests are invited to rap, commune and relax. There is an ever- changing schedule of discussions, poetry slams and other activities. The corridors of the Gershwin literally shine with creativity. Check into the Gershwin, it's an experience that you will never forget. The hotel is minutes to fine dining, shopping and entertainment.
