The Westin New York Grand Central Hotel, previously The New York Helmsley Hotel, is a business-oriented hotel in New York City, New York. It is approximately two blocks west of the United Nations headquarters and a little more than one block east of Grand Central Terminal.
The hotel was part of The Helmsley Collection. In addition to The New York Helmsley, New York City properties in the Collection included The Helmsley Park Lane Hotel, The Helmsley Carlton House, and The Helmsley Middletowne Hotel. The Helmsley Sand Castle Hotel, a resort facility in Sarasota, Florida, was also a part of The Helmsley Collection.
The hotel was founded in 1981 by Leona Helmsley, the "self-styled hotel queen".
Since December 2006, Mark A. Briskin has been the general manager of hotel.
In 2011, the estate of Leona Helmsley sold The New York Helmsley Hotel to Host Hotels & Resorts.
