The Perfect New York Hotels For All Your Favorite Neighborhoods

""There is a good chance you’ve never heard of Triumph Hotels. But if you are visiting the Big Apple, you might very well want to stay in one of their hotels.

Most hotel chains don’t own their properties. From the most venerable names, such as Four Seasons and Ritz-Carlton, to the $69 a night airport motels, most brand names are managers on behalf of owners or reservation and marketing tools for franchisees. At the opposite end of the hospitality spectrum are owner operated properties, often one offs.

In between these two extremes sits Triumph, a group of half a dozen boutique and very neighborhood centric New York City hotels. They are 100% owner operated, and the owners are passionate about one thing above all - New York’s neighborhoods.

“We are a collection of hotels, not a chain. Our differentiators are that we have six different hotels in six very different neighborhoods, all owner operated, and we don’t just incorporate the neighborhood into our properties, we are in the neighborhood - we also live there,” Triumph COO Brett Blass told me. “The owners are two second and third generation real estate and hotel developers in the city, and they grew up in New York, grew up in hotels, they love it and they want to share it. Both the company and the hotels are staffed with people who have been affiliated with them for 10, 20 or 30 years.”....."


Triumph Hotels specializes in neighborhood feel. You would never guess that the Hotel Edison in Times Square - home to one of the area's most popular bars, The Rum House -has over 800 rooms.TRIUMPH HOTELS
