The Grand Hyatt New York is a hotel located directly east of the Grand Central Terminal in Midtown Manhattan, New York City. It was originally built and opened on January 28, 1919, as The Commodore Hotel. In 1980, Donald Trump modernized the outside of the building and renovated the inside as part of his first construction project in Manhattan.
Totally renovated in 2009, the Hyatt is the best-situated downtown hotel in Palm Springs. You can watch the sun rise over the city or set behind the mountains from the balcony of your spacious one- or two-bedroom suite.
