Hilton's Tapestry Collection has acquired its first property in New York City.

The Bernic Hotel New York City, located in the heart of Midtown East near Grand Central Station and Rockefeller Center, is the latest addition to the growing Tapestry brand, which now has three properties in New York state.

The 96-room hotel is known for its sleek and serene space and such details as heated bathroom floors, walk-in rain showers, floor-to-ceiling windows in every room and balconies in more than 75 percent of guest rooms.

The Bernic also offers a changing collection of images and creations by artist Ian Sklarsky, which have become seasonal fixtures in the hotel.

"Flanked by legendary New York City landmarks, The Bernic's location in the Turtle Bay neighborhood offers the convenience of Midtown, making it a great choice for business travelers, those enjoying a weekend getaway or guests planning an extended vacation," Jenna Hackett, global brand head, Tapestry Collection by Hilton, said in a statement. "As our third Tapestry Collection property in the great state of New York, The Bernic is a wonderful addition to our expanding vibrant portfolio of unique hotels, all backed by Hilton."

The property also offers upscale food and dining options including Allora Restaurant, which features a Carrera marble bar and herringbone floors.

The menu meanwhile is rooted in Northern Italian-American specialties and includes homemade pasta, classic seafood dishes and tableside preparations of traditional favorites including the classic Caesar Salad, the 'Godfather' Grilled Branzino, Zabaglione and more.

Alto, a rooftop lounge open from May through October, offers seasonally curated cocktails in a space that provides 180-degree views of the city.

"We have a beautiful property and a fantastic staff and have been doing quite well as an independent property, but we felt that partnering with Hilton and especially as a Tapestry Collection gave us some piece of mind for the future as New York City continues to add new hotel rooms at a breathtaking pace," said President & CEO of Marshall Hotels & Resorts, Mike Marshall. "Hilton's Honors members will find the comfort of this great boutique property as well as its location very satisfying."

The Bernic will also be a part of Tapestry Collection's Youth Service America #LeadASAP Spark the Arts program.

In May 2017, Tapestry Collection by Hilton launched a partnership with Youth Service America (YSA), which is dedicated to creating opportunities for young people to develop skills to help them succeed in work and in life.

Aimed at activating youth in local Tapestry Collection communities, the #LeadASAP Spark the Arts program provides grants to empower young people by supporting creative service projects that benefit their neighborhoods ranging from film projects, writing workshops, community art and much more.
