CU Preferred Local Hotels List.

Dear Colleagues,

Procurement Services recently concluded sourcing and contracting to enhance the Preferred Hotel Program for New York City hotels.

 What is the Preferred Hotel Program?

We have worked with specific hotels throughout Manhattan to ensure that these establishments offer competitive pricing and a variety of amenities to guests when booked through the Columbia University Preferred Area Hotels site.

What’s new?

Effective January 1, 2020, the new program comprises seven preferred hotels, including the University’s first 4.5 star preferred hotel (The Arthouse).  To see all the University’s preferred hotels, click here.  Enhancements to the preferred hotel program include:

• Competitive pricing, including a rate freeze or rate reduction at every hotel in the new program
• Complimentary breakfast at four of the hotels ( The Belleclaire, The Arthouse, The Warwick New York, The Aloft Harlem, and The Radio Hotel)
• High speed internet access (both wired and wireless)
• More flexible cancellation policies
• Reduced hotel blackout dates to help with high demand periods

Where do I go if I have questions?

If you have questions about the preferred hotel program, please email [e-mail] or you can contact Ramón Bocarro by phone at [phone].
