Most of us are familiar with the challenges of home maintenance and repairs. Now imagine how big the job is when you’re responsible for a property containing 1,015 guest rooms and over 600,000 thousand square feet of space in an area that covers an entire city block in New York. That’s the challenge faced by The  Roosevelt Hotel‘s  30-person engineering department.

Most of them have been with the hotel for 10 years or more and they represent trades that include plumbing, carpentry, electrical, mechanical and painting.

In addition to routine tasks, these hard-working folks take on special projects too.  In 2008, this team turned the roof of the hotel into what is now mad46, our sophisticated rooftop lounge.  More recently, they have taken on the task of building Vander Bar, our newest watering hole  on the corner of Vanderbilt Avenue and 45th Street. 

So, whether you are staying with us and need a light bulb or having a cocktail at one of our outlets, its these guys who really keep the structure that is The Roosevelt Hotel at its best.
