The Kimberly Hotel is an exquisite European-style luxury boutique hotel, featuring: a private conference room, full service business center, catered receptions and luxury suites fully equipped with high-tech amenities. The combination of high-class comfort with business services is fueling a new trend of boutique hotels increasingly becoming the Manhattan venue of choice for the business traveler. "Our highly trained international staff is poised to make crucial meetings and presentations seem effortless," said Mujo Perezic, general manger. "We handle all of the details so that our guests here on business can focus on their clients’ goals."
The Kimberly’s Penthouse Suite, the venue’s main meeting facility, encompasses the entire top floor of the hotel and features a wrap around verandah overlooking Manhattan’s Upper East Side. This ideal setting for small board or corporate meetings, comfortably seats up to 50 people, theater-style seating and includes Audiovisual equipment as well as a built in screen. "At a larger hotel, a business meeting is more likely to take place in a breakout room within a larger conference center," said Perezic. "Our meeting space is located in the Penthouse Suite, offering unobstructed views of the cityscape. It is an entirely private setting void of distraction and adds a sense of exclusivity to our clients' business functions."
This exclusivity is likewise emphasized by Signature Suites, which range in size from 650 to 863 square feet and are conducive to more intimate business and social functions. The hotel’s newly unveiled Luxury Collection offers spacious one or two bedroom suites and guestrooms, all with Italian linens, 42-inch plasma- screen televisions, DVD players, floor-to-ceiling wet bars and private balconies.

"Boutique hotels are generally the preferred choice for small business meetings because they offer a more intimate setting and an enhanced level of service that is not usually found at larger properties," added Perezic. |
