Preferred Hotel
The Kimberly Hotel has partnered with us and offers discounted rates for the Alumni Days 2024!
This elegant 4-star gem whisks you away to a bygone era, where Edith Piaf once graced New York’s stages in what was then a supper club—now transformed into the hotel’s chic restaurant.
The Kimberly’s soul shines through its vibrant colors, carefully curated materials, and stylish furnishings. And let’s not forget the impeccable service that sets this independent hotel apart. The hotel has received a number of accolades for the quality of its services and Forbes Travel Guide has just crowned The Kimberly Hotel as one of the world’s finest properties in 2024.
With spacious rooms and a plethora of amenities, it’s the perfect location for us: easy access from JFK airport via the E train, and just a few stops on the 6 train to the Microsoft venue.
