. August 16, 2016

NEW YORK, NY. August 16, 2016 - Hotel Shocard, the new boutique design-driven hotel in New York City's Times Square, is pleased to announce the opening of two new event space options, the Sho-Stopper Suite and the Ensemble Suite. Intimate and chic, the concept behind the Shocard Suites is akin to hosting an event in the privacy of one's home with their residential-like layout comprised of versatile function space with open-air terraces for a unique indoor-outdoor experience. These two suites are perfect for intimate events in the heart of midtown Manhattan with alfresco event space in the warmer months.

Though varying in size, both offerings are flexible and offer a wealth of event capabilities from cocktail parties to receptions and boast an outdoor oasis that all city dwellers would dream of having in their home. The stylish and intimate design of the spaces offer a chic but simple backdrop for party planning and the flexible set-up allows for as much personalization as desired. For catering needs, the hotel's restaurant, Gleason's Tavern, has introduced a new catering menu that is a fresh take on American fare with sharable bites and spreads that guests can choose from. Menu highlights include hors d'oeuvres such as House Cured Salmon Brochettes, Truffled Mushroom Risotto Balls, and Crispy Shrimp Dumplings. Guests are also welcome to work with an outside caterer for their culinary needs.

The Sho-Stopper Suite is the larger of the two and can accommodate events up to 50 people. The Ensemble Suite is a great option for more intimate events with the capacity to host up to 20 people. Those booking events at Hotel Shocard have the flexibility to personalize the Suites with decor, flowers, and other important details to bring their own vision to life. Additionally, Hotel Shocard offers further personalization with the option to customize the hotel's show-stopping classic marquee at the hotel's entrance. Groups can choose to have a custom message for their event, greeting their guests as they arrive. Groups can choose to have a custom message for their event, greeting their guests as they arrive. Events in Hotel Shocard's two new Suites start at $600. Renting the hotel's marquee is an additional cost of $800.

“We are excited to introduce space to offer our clients and guests the rare ability to celebrate outdoors in Manhattan," said General Manager Alicia Luke. “Both of our suite event options will make a perfect space for a variety of intimate events or celebrations."

The hotel's design was conceptualized by New York-based firm Mapos and derives inspiration from the grit and the glamour of NYC in the 1960s and the 1970s. The design of the inside spaces feature patina brass hardware details melded throughout in the lighting, mirrors and fixtures as well as frequent appearances of a dot matrix pattern inspired by old-Broadway marquee lighting and the pixilation of old print photographs. As both event can also be booked as guest accommodations, they feature custom-designed Murphy beds which fold-up to reveal additional seating areas for events.
