As the award show quickly approaches, Sofitel New York, the Official Hotel Partner for the 72nd annual Tony Awards, invites guests to celebrate the occasion with two special experiences. The hotel will transport guests to the early days of theater with a Tony Awards Suite, and it will give guests access and entry to Tony Awards events with the $100k Tony Awards Package.
