The Hilton Manhattan East has opened its doors at 304 East 42nd Street, between First and Second Avenues.

You may remember the historic Tudor Hotel New York. Well, Hilton has bought the 1931 neo-gothic tower and given it a multi-million dollar renovation to include 300 luxury guest rooms furnished in sophisticated blue and earth tones, spacious marble bathrooms and state-of the art technology in the rooms, the fitness center, the 24-hour business center and the 3,500 square feet of event space. Naturally, full concierge and valet services are standard, as are Crabtree & Evelyn La Source Bath products. The hotel's bar and restaurant, Tudor Neighborhood Bar & Grill, is a nod to the area and the hotel's past.

If you book a stay for before September 7 by May 31, as part of the Grand Opening special, for $899 you can get two nights in a Terrace Suite for two, a complimentary bottle of Moet & Chandon Champagne, daily breakfast for two and two Hilton Manhattan East hotel robes. If that's a little steep, you can get lower rates for standard and deluxe guest rooms (starting at two nights for $599), and they'll throw in the robes for free.

So, whether you're into Hiltons or fine new Manhattan hotels, celebrate the launch of this historic and geographically convenient neighborhood's auspicious new arrival -- and for an added bonus, click here to join Hilton HHonors and earn double points for stays before June 31.
