The New York City Council approved an application for a special permit to allow a hotel with accessory commercial uses at 337 West 36th Street in Manhattan. The proposed development involves a 21-story hotel building with a total floor area of 144,200 square feet, including 405 guest rooms and approximately 2,240 square feet of accessory commercial space on the ground floor. The site is currently occupied by a 5-story commercial building, which will be demolished. The special permit is required because the site is located within a C6-4 zoning district in the Special Garment Center District, where hotels are generally not permitted as-of-right.
