Castle Club Hotel New York * UPDATE*

[sjaakie]

Just heard from a Cast Member that Hotel New York will open its own Castle Club called The empire Floor.
Booking will be possible very soon for arrivals in June.

As far as I know they had in the first years a Castle Club in HNY which was also called Castle Club.

We stayed two times in HNY (2006 and 2007) and always in the 7th floor with lake view. And when you step out of the elevator you can still read on the signs "7th floor Castle Club". Although it is not (was not) Castle Club anymore.

Has anyone experience with the former Castle Club in HNY? What where the benefits for staying there? Did they also offer free snacks and drinks?

And I wonder how this will work with the "Empire Floor"? Has anyone else heard about this plan?

I hope this is not only a rip-off. (in other words: I hope this is not only the excuse for DLRP to sell the rooms in the upper floors of the HNY for horrendous prices)

Because this was our room which we had at the former Castle Club (7th floor)



and in the last years you only had to pay the standard price + lake view extra to get this room. But I worry that they will then sale this room as Empire Floor for a horrendous price if this rumour is true.

The CM just told me they will be get a briefing about this next week.

I will post the news a soon as possible ,just a little patient.

I've stayed in one of the suites at the hotel before through work. As you look at the hotel to the right there is a rounded area and it was in there. It had a living room with big tv and sofas, a separate bedroom area. It was pretty spacious - more so than the suites in the Newport in the rounded section there. We got fruit basket, chocolates, gift in room and a free minibar in it.

Yes but this is the standard for all suits in the HNY. I think that has nothing to do with the former Castle Club or the future Empire Floor.

If it has a VIP fast pass and a lounge I will definitely consider booking for next September if the price is better than DLH CC and have a longer stay. DBF prefers the HNY

Me too,me too.

And me!! We are staying at HNY for 9 nights in August. Wouldn't mind an upgrade if it is not as expensive as the Castle Club at DL Hotel!

I have taken this picture in June 2007.



This sing must be a left over from the former Castle CLub at the HNY. Which only existed in the first years of the resort.
We had a room at the 7th floor and we only payed the standard price and we had no benefits like VIP FP or anything. ;-)

Sounds exciting tho i would still rather stay at CC at DLH.

 

[marcus.ka]

And I would prefer if they would everything left unchanged at the HNY.

 

[Happy Tappy]

Will this not be like the admirals floor at Newport Bay?

 

[tennisfan]

I'm interested to see what they do, I may stay here if its not too expensive.

This is what the CM were told today.


There will be 36 rooms and suites on the 6,7 and 8 floor available at the Castle Club.

A separate check in will be open from 6.30 until 22.30 hours. There will also be a lounge for breakfast with Disney figures and non alcoholic drinks for the whole day.
Afternoon snacks will also be served in this lounge.

As for this moment there will be NO vip passes available for the rooms. Only for the suites.
