  • Hotel Details

    Kauffman Fellows has secured a discounted room block at NH Collection Madison Avenue (22 Est 38th St, New York), which is an 8-minute walk from the venue (GH on the Park at Bryant Park). Rooms are limited and available on a first come first serve basis, so we highly suggest booking ASAP if you are interested:

    • Rates: Rooms are $350 per night for Superior and $375 for Premium.
    • Cancellation Policy: You can cancel free of charge up to 21 days before your stay. If you cancel less than 21 days before, or no-show, you'll be charged the full amount for your reservation (including taxes). 

     

    Fellows are not required to stay at the designated KF room block, so if you prefer to stay at another hotel given budgetary requirements/preferences that is OK. We just highly suggest you are within easy walking/subway commuting distance of the venue (GH on the Park at Bryant Park).
