Out with the old...

Above is a shot from one of the current rooms at the Roosevelt New York. Get a good look at it now, because in a few months, everything will be different.

Like certain other large Manhattan antiquities, the Roosevelt is benefitting from a major facelift across its 1,015 rooms. The work will be done floor by floor, so as not to disturb guests, and the finished product "will reflect the chic, NYC lifestyle." Um, OK?

Intentionally ambiguous PR jargon aside, the new rooms will have a cleaner, more modern edge than guests have been used to in the past. Take a look at the above rendering—the lamps alone are a huge improvement! And we should note that these renovations build on the hotel's pre-existing improvements like flat-screen TVs, wifi and new beds.

Built in 1924, the grand oldie has been chugging along for quite some time now (87 years to be exact), and continues to woo guests with trendy Twitter contests and mambo lessons on the roof. We even managed to snag a three-night stay here for only $19.24 via said Twitter contests.

In addition to the rooms, the lobby-level Madison Club Lounge restaurant will also receive some new carpeting, lighting, and a shiny granite top bar. Nice. But if the sun's shining, and it's still September, you can find us on the roof.
