Wayfarer TV exclusive: Inside Marriott’s flagship Moxy hotels in New York City

by James Wilkinson

Marriott International’s lifestyle brand Moxy has been on a rapid global expansion in recent years, with new hotels popping up right across the globe.

Two of the best – the 349-room Moxy Chelsea and 612-room Moxy Times Square – can be found in New York City and they have helped elevate the brand to a new, ultra-cool level.

When you walk into the 35-story tall Moxy Chelsea, you could be forgiven for thinking you have walked into a florist given that’s what the lobby shop is, rather fitting, given the hotel is located in the city’s Flower District.

Over at Moxy Times Square, you’ll find one of the city’s best and largest indoor/outdoor rooftop bars that offers incredible views of the iconic Empire State Building.

Both hotels have helped pushed the boundary from both a design and hospitality standpoint for the brand and to find out more about the properties – and a sneak peak into the city’s newest Moxy in the East Village – WAYFARER Host and Editor-In-Chief, James Gregory Wilkinson, spoke exclusively on camera to Moxy Chelsea, Moxy East Village and Moxy Times Square Area General Manager, Gary Thomas.
