Our group will be staying at The Knickerbocker, the first luxury hotel in Times Square. Edging the bright lights of Broadway and the calm of Bryant Park, John Jacob Astor IV’s stunning 1906 Beaux Arts landmark once played host to the likes of Rockefeller, Fitzgerald, and famous opera tenor, Enrique Caruso. The hotel features an expansive 7,500 sq. ft. rooftop space, St. Cloud Rooftop, which offers spanning Times Square views, including 150 feet below the iconic New Year’s Eve Ball.
