The Michelangelo Hotel

What The Michelangelo Hotel does

The Michelangelo Hotel is a privately held luxury hotel property located at 152 West 51st Street in Midtown Manhattan, owned and operated by STARHOTELS INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION and operated under the Starhotels Collezione brand. The 179-key property offers rooms and suites ranging from 350 to 800 square feet — among the largest accommodations in Manhattan — across categories including Superior, Deluxe, Executive, Studio, Junior Suite, One-Bedroom Suite, and Grand One-Bedroom Suite. The hotel targets three primary segments: luxury leisure travelers visiting Times Square, Broadway, Rockefeller Center, and Fifth Avenue; business travelers requiring the four on-site meeting rooms (capacity up to 80) and the central Midtown location; and couples/families seeking suite accommodations, including pet-friendly stays (up to 2 pets under 75 lbs, $100 fee).

The property's product mix is anchored by guest rooms and The Lounge, an Italian-inspired restaurant offering breakfast, lunch, pre-theater dinner, and evening bar service with handmade mozzarella and Neapolitan pizzas. Supporting amenities include a 24-hour Executive Fitness Center, business center (printing/scanning/faxing), valet and self-parking, same-day laundry, and ADA-compliant accessible rooms. Distribution runs through a direct booking engine (michelangelohotel.book.pegsbe.com) offering up to 20% savings off Best Available Rate, alongside the Starhotels central booking infrastructure, I Prefer loyalty, Preferred Hotels & Resorts, and major OTAs. The hotel is ADA compliant under 28 CFR Part 36 (1991).

Revenue is generated through six streams: room revenue, dining (The Lounge plus room service 7:00 AM–10:00 PM), parking (self $45/day, valet $70/night), a mandatory $45/night Residence Fee bundling beverage allowance, WiFi, fitness, business center, and phone calls, meeting and event services, and a one-time $100 pet fee. Marketing is conducted through direct website booking, Instagram (@themichelangelonewyork), email newsletter, and a content blog. The hotel sells bundled packages including Sweet Suite Package (10% off + American breakfast), Stay Longer and Save (progressive 10–25% off for 1–7+ nights), Bed & Breakfast, and Elite Fan Getaway.
