The facility will be transformed to the Westin hotel after completion of upgrades. All the 774 guestrooms of the building, including 11 one-bedroom suites and one three-bedroom presidential suite, will be provided a floor-to-ceiling overhaul as part of the project. The rooms will now don the Westin Classic design scheme. Each revamped room will be equipped with Westin Heavenly Bed, energy-efficient LED and CFL lighting, low-flow plumbing fixtures, recyclable carpet pads, low VOC casegood finishes, and solar shades which are GreenGuard-eligible.

The facility will refurbish over 15,000 square feet of its meeting and event area. The renovated space will incorporate floor-to-ceiling windows, as well as 12-inch ceilings while offering glimpses of the surrounding city. There will be creation of five new break-out rooms with the largest space possessing a capacity to house 450. The area will also install teleconferencing facilities, fiber optics, and some of the highest bandwidth in Manhattan following the facelift. Further, the lobby bar/restaurant will be extended to 42nd street while the complete building façade will be remodelled.

The project is slated to be completed by June 2012.
