United Nations General Assembly
A Global Gathering of Nations Returns to New York City
The 79th Annual United Nations General Assembly will convene in New York City this September, welcoming global leaders, diplomats, and heads of state from all 193 member countries. Founded in 1945, the United Nations is an international organization committed to fostering diplomacy, global cooperation, and the peaceful resolution of conflicts.
The UNGA General Debate, a central part of the Assembly, begins on Tuesday, September 16, 2025, and includes addresses by presidents, prime ministers, and foreign ministers from around the globe. Throughout the month, high-level meetings, side events, and bilateral discussions will take place across the city.
Located across from Lincoln Center, The Empire Hotel provides a discreet, secure, and stylish retreat during one of the city's busiest global gatherings. Whether you're attending high-level meetings or coordinating with foreign delegations, our central location and personalized service ensure a seamless UNGA experience.
Please note: Security will be heightened throughout Manhattan during peak UNGA dates, especially around the UN district.
