Front Office department is run smoothly ensuring that there is a relentless

WHO ARE WE

Generator is on a

journey. Appropriate, given that we're a shared accommodation lifestyle brand.

The journey began in London, swung through a heap of European capitals on its

way to dominating the world. Generator burst onto the scene in the Americas with

the launch of Generator Miami and Washington DC and most recently took aim at

the country’s biggest markets (NYC, LA, Miami and Chicago) with the acquisition

of Freehand Hotels.

No biggie. Fast Company named us one of the top 50 most innovative global companies.

We, of course, agree.

Our spaces are safe and

seriously social, in the proudest part of the beating heart of the cities we

love. Cultural action, creative pulse and an outstanding way to waste some of

the finite time the universe has given you - that's what Generator offers.

Holds true for staff and visitors equally, and while chic design is always the

backdrop, every Generator in every destination reflects the unique beat of that

city's heart.

BEING YOURSELF is the key to bringing the Generator story

and brand to life.

ABOUT PARAMOUNT

HOTEL NEW YORK

Paramount Hotel is a New York City landmark located

just steps from Times Square. Constructed in the French Renaissance style by

Thomas W. Lamb in 1927, the building reflects the theatrical character of its

neighborhood. The bustle of the street disappears as you step inside - with its

two-story lobby, reflective fireplace, dramatic lighting, and rich textures, it

sets the stage for a hip, indulgent experience. Recently updated but retaining

its historical charm, the Paramount Hotel is standing out as the only hotel

near Broadway NYC with genuine personality.

Kind of a no brainer to take this iconic hotel

with us on our Generator journey. While

making sure to keep its rich character - we are giving it the best parts of our

Generator DNA in order to transform this into a social driven, loud and

welcoming community hot spot (with some kick-ass parties & events, of

course).
