DoubleTree by Hilton Times Square West is a great new venue for hosting events. The newly opened hotel recently hosted a travel press event for media outlets to discover what’s hot in travel wear and  gear from premier brands. I got to check out products from French Sole, Karen Neuburger, Columbia, Under Armour, Ladaska Mechelle, Bogobrush, and JLEW Bags. The hotel’s downstairs  meeting space was perfect for the event with its spaciousness and ample lighting.

Here are highlights from the travel press event. French Sole NY has a great assortment of comfortable flats in beautiful prints and vibrant colors. Karen Neuburger carries  soft, stylish sleepwear and loungewear. Columbia has a great lineup of outerwear and activewear. Under Armour features an impressive collection of sunglasses that are modern and durable. Ladaska Mechelle carries luxury swimwear that’s customizable for various body types.  Bogobrush is a biodegradable toothbrush with a one for one model.  JLEW carries versatile bags that effortlessly go from work bags to gym bags. Such a fascinating and functional lineup of brands!

DoubleTree by Hilton Times Square West will continue to host fun activations throughout the year. Coming up on May 15, for National Cookie Day, the, the hotel will be handing out their famous warm DoubleTree Cookies in their outdoor atrium located at 350 West 40th Street hotel between 2PM and 4PM. Everyone is welcome!  If you attend, you’ll have a chance to guess at how many chocolate chips are in their cookie jar… The person with the closest guess will get a complimentary 1 night stay and a copy of DoubleTree’s Cookie Cookbook  “We Have Cookies: Taste the World of DoubleTree by Hilton.” Don’t miss out!
