Housed within a beautiful landmark building, the Holiday Inn Martinique Hotel boasts a prime location on 32nd and Broadway, within walking distances or short taxi and subway rides to Broadway theaters, the Empire State Building, Madison Square Garden, Chelsea, SoHo, Macy's, Fifth Avenue shopping and Times Square. In fact, canines make this their hotel de jour when in New York City. In addition, Koreatown, affectionately known as K-town, adjoins the hotel and is close to vibrant Korean markets, gift shops, music stores, karaoke bars and 24-hour restaurants.

Historians designated the French Renaissance-style hotel a landmark for its magnificent 18-story wrought iron staircase, Italian marble stairs, 1898 mosaic-tile floor and inspired detailing throughout the lobby. The New York City hotel offers a full range of amenities, including a complimentary, 24-hour fitness center, the Spadium day spa, and fully-stocked business center.

Speaking of dogs, the hotel's canine guests include contestants in the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show, held every February at nearby Madison Square Garden. The sight of pampered pooches parading through the Holiday Inn's vast lobby en route to the show is a scene to behold.

Meanwhile, hungry guests of the human kind can choose between the Café Martinique's international and American cuisines or Korean delicacies of Kum Gang San. Then, they can return to their guest rooms that come furnished with 27-inch TVs, movies, video games, Internet access, coffee makers, hair dryers, irons and ironing boards, 100- percent cotton linens, down pillows, marble bathroom vanities, and Australian Earlsley & Windsor toiletries.

With the Empire State Building, Macy's, Madison Square Garden, and subway and bus stops so close to the hotel, the Holiday Inn Martinique on Broadway provides a convenient, affordable base to visit the city's businesses and attractions. Fido gives it two paws up.
