About Empire Hotel Group Pleasantville
Empire Hotel Group goes all the way back in 1189 as a 7-story building in Lincoln Square. Now, it has a diverse collection of cultured hotels in New York City. It owns The Pearl, The Belvedere, The Hotel Newton, The Travel Inn, The Americana Inn, The Mansfield, The Belnord, and The Opera House Hotel. These properties are found in significant neighborhoods of the big city - Upper West Side, Midtown Manhattan, and The Bronx. This way, travelers from all walks of life can taste the experience the Big Apple has to offer in such a flexible selection. That also brings power to the group, given that they are practically in control of markets in the three major areas for accommodation business.
One of the most iconic moments of The Empire Hotel was when it was featured in The CW’s teen drama series Gossip Girl. It was owned by the character Chuck Bass played by Ed Westwick. At that time, the percentage of bookings for the hotel increased from five to ten really quickly. That also gave birth to a Gossip Girl-themes cocktail menu in the hotel. The TV feature didn’t stop as the hotel was also featured in Starz and Power, which were two other TV series.
