Beverage Director at Marriott

The View has reopened as a newly reimagined upscale dining destination housed within the New York Marriot Marquis. New York City’s only revolving restaurant, bar, and lounge, The View has undergone a complete renovation by Rockwell Group to evoke the vibrant nightlife of historic New York, drawing inspiration from classic American supper clubs.  

Spanning the 47th and 48th floors, The View provides two unique guest experiences: an upper-level bar and lounge complete with a raw-bar, and a full-service restaurant on the lower level featuring live music nightly. The culinary and bar offerings highlight American classics with a theatrical twist, reflecting the character of the surrounding area. Designed to be a vibrant escape from the hustle of Times Square, The View is excited to welcome both New Yorkers and visitors.
