Concorde Hotel New York is part of Concorde Hotels, a collection rooted in Southeast Asia and managed by HPL Hotels & Resorts. The Manhattan hotel brings that hospitality heritage to a city where travelers have endless choices and online travel agencies compete for every booking.

Partnership

Concorde Hotel New York has worked with Gourmet Marketing since 2019. As a luxury hotel marketing agency for NYC hotels, we run the hotel’s full digital program, from the website and search to advertising, email and AI visibility. The goal has stayed the same from the start: win more direct bookings in a market shaped by online travel agencies.

We designed the current website and handled the hotel website build on HubSpot, giving the team one platform for content, offers and guest communication. We continue to manage the site as the hotel’s needs change.
