Klipsch Adds Grandeur to Sheraton New York Hotel and Towers
By Sarah Knight
Business and leisure travelers who want to immerse themselves in the spirit of New York City and the best that Manhattan has to offer stay at the luxurious Sheraton® New York Hotel and Towers. As soon as guests enter this 50-floor skyscraper hotel, they experience a sense of grandeur that's created with the help of Klipsch speakers.
Conveniently located near the Fifth Avenue shopping district, Broadway theaters, Rockefeller Center, Carnegie Hall and Central Park, this flagship property, owned by Starwood® Hotels & Resorts, has 1,750 guest rooms, including 29 suites. It provides extensive room amenities, a variety of dining options, on-site shopping, a complete 24-hour business center, a fully equipped fitness center and a theater-ticket desk.
Considered the heart of the hotel, the sophisticated yet welcoming lobby utilizes 15 high-performance Klipsch IC-6T in-ceiling speakers to deliver high-impact, comforting tunes. It also features Italian marble, custom mahogany tables topped with blue and white porcelain jars, leather benches, and plaid wing chairs to draw visitors into the center of the area and past the grand mahogany clock - reminiscent of Grand Central Station.
Known for its martinis and delectable appetizers, the Sheraton New York's Library Bar is another hotspot that entertains guests with the aid of Klipsch IC-6T speakers. While sipping on cocktails and nibbling on snacks, patrons can socialize while enjoying the jazzy, toe-tapping melodies that evenly envelop the bar.
Muzak, the innovative commercial music subscription company and Klipsch business partner, was hired to design the sound system for these two high-traffic areas. In order to create the right ambiance for both environments, only the Klipsch sound experience would do.
Grant Conley, northeast senior sales engineer for Muzak, developed this system with ease of operation, maximum performance and visual appeal in mind. "I highly recommended that the Sheraton use Klipsch loudspeakers because they have an amazing presence, deliver full range sound, look great and our installers love them," he said.
Located on 7th Avenue between 52nd and 53rd Streets, the Sheraton New York Hotel and Towers is guaranteed to be a favorite of Big Apple visitors because of its distinguished ambience, great amenities, convenient location and reasonable rates.
