The Ultimate Double-Header

Who can resist baseball season in New York?  The stadiums, Derek and Pedro, the thrill of a ball hit out of the park?  The Alex Hotel (no we’re not named after Alex Rodriguez), is making it easy to cave in to a night at the ballpark and more.  Here’s a package that is a homerun in its own right, the perfect chance to bring fathers and sons, grandfathers and grandsons, and friends together to celebrate their mutual love of the game.  The Alex’s new Double-Header Package is available now through the end of the regular season, October 2, 2005.

It includes: 

  • Luxurious accommodations for two in a two-bedroom suite

  • Tickets for two to either a Mets or Yankees game

  • Limousine transportation to and from the baseball game

  • Passes for two to the batting cages at Chelsea Piers  

  • Gift certificate worth $200 to Sparks Steakhouse

  • Welcome sports basket including snacks, imported beers, playing cards and “The Natural” DVD

Located on East 45th Street at Third Avenue, the hotel is within easy driving distance of both Shea and Yankee Stadiums.  It has 203 guest rooms and suites imaginatively designed by David Rockwell.  Custom furnishings, fully equipped gourmet kitchens stocked with Dean & Deluca treats and Sharp AQUOS flat-panel televisions are found in each guest room and suite.  Frederic Fekkai body and bath amenities, Frette linens, towels and bathrobes, and triple sheeted beds are also among the ultra-luxurious touches.  A dedicated concierge service, 24-hour room service provided by Riingo, The Alex’s signature restaurant offering inventive American-Japanese cuisine, and a state-of-the-art fitness center with fitness and spa services at request adds to the hotel’s top distinctions. 

The Alex Hotel is within walking distance of Grand Central Station, the Midtown business district, the United Nations, the Park, and Madison and Fifth Avenues. The hotel’s ideal location offers easy access to Times Square, the Theater District, SoHo, Tribeca and Wall Street as well. It is 12 miles from LaGuardia Airport, and 17 miles from JFK International Airport.
