The Manhattan West Position
Pendry Manhattan West occupies the Manhattan West development sitting directly between the newly opened Moynihan Train Hall and Hudson Yards. The position places the property:
- On the edge of Hudson Yards — adjacent to the principal Hudson Yards mixed-use development

- Within walking distance of Madison Square Garden — the principal Midtown West entertainment and event anchor
