For Pride this month, Kimpton Theta New York – Times Square, offers clients a chance to experience the local festivities with Italian-inspired elegance. Located just steps from the Theater District and Hell’s Kitchen, this property has a full calendar of Pride-focused events and amenities throughout the month.
The hotel’s rooftop venue, Bar Sprezzatura, is the centerpiece for many of the property’s Pride activities. From June 1 to 30, the bar is extending its Happy Hour from 5 to 8:30 pm daily, featuring a special Pride menu created in partnership with Supergay Spirits, a queer-owned, local liquor brand. The signature Supergay Stardust cocktail—a sparkling creation inspired by the French 75 and crafted with Supergay Vodka—directs a portion of proceeds to The LGBT Community Center. Clients can also enjoy discounted classics like Negronis and Aperol Spritzes alongside upscale Italian bites, including spicy tuna cannoli, guanciale meatballs, and mozzarella stracciatella.
Pride, Italian Style
For clients visiting on June 20, Bar Sprezzatura transforms for its Sunset Sessions from 6:30 to 9:30 pm, offering live DJ performances against the backdrop of golden hour views across Manhattan. The rooftop setting provides an exceptional atmosphere for clients looking to combine Pride celebrations with a quintessential New York experience.
Hotel guests receive additional privileges during Thursday Social Hours, held from 5:00 to 6:00 p.m. in the property’s living room. During these exclusive gatherings, guests can sample complimentary canned cocktails from Supergay Spirits, including the Two Fruit Cosmo and Two Fruits Ginger Mule. These ready-to-drink options will remain available for purchase year-round in the hotel’s Marketplace, with a percentage of sales supporting the LGBT Center in the West Village.
For travel advisors arranging client visits during Pride Month, the Come As You Are: Pride Month 2025 Package runs through June 30 and includes several valuable amenities: two complimentary cocktails from the Pride Happy Hour menu, priority sunset terrace seating, 15 percent discount on best available rates, late check-out, a welcome box featuring Pride donuts from LGBTQIA+ owned bakery BlissBomb and exclusive Kimpton Pride merchandise.
Morning options include Cafe Otto, the property’s coffee shop, which operates from 6:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. daily and features specialty mini donuts from BlissBomb. A portion of proceeds from these treats supports local queer organizations, including NYC Pride.
In keeping with Kimpton’s reputation for being pet-friendly, the property has launched a Paws for Pride social media contest open to both locals and guests. Participants can submit photos of their festively dressed dogs; the winning entry will be announced during the June 26 Social Hour. The prize includes a $1,000 donation to the LGBTQ+ organization of the winner’s choice, plus a three-night stay at Kimpton Theta New York – Times Square.
