The hotel's most luxurious accommodation, the Rock Star Suite on the 34th floor, features two levels with floor-to-ceiling windows, original contemporary artwork, bespoke music memorabilia and a large terrace.

As with all Hard Rock properties, the Hard Rock Hotel New York will showcase a number of pieces from the company's vast collection of rock memorabilia, many with a Big Apple flavor. Among those items are a leather motorcycle jacket owned and worn by Joey Ramone; a pair of silver patent leather boots that belonged to Lady Gaga; a record player with built-in microphone and cutting lathe for making direct-to-disc recordings from Les Paul; and handwritten lyrics for John Lennon's 1972 song, "New York City."

The Venue on Music Row, a flexible entertainment space that can hold up to 400 guests, will host music performances as well as fashion shows and special events.

Introductory nightly rates for Hard Rock Hotel New York start at $395.
