NEW YORK
Marriott International announced the opening of Aloft Long Island City - Manhattan View, the first Aloft in Queens, and specifically, Long Island City. This hotel will be the fourth Aloft hotel in the New York City metropolitan area, joining properties in Manhattan and Brooklyn.
Owned by Select Development and managed by Real Hospitality, Aloft Long Island City - Manhattan View features 176 loft-style rooms, 1,000 square feet of meeting space, a rooftop terrace and an outdoor courtyard.
"Aloft is a great choice for Long Island City because it's a young, up and coming neighborhood near Manhattan and Brooklyn with a large entertainment connection and diverse restaurants," said Paige Francis, vice president, global brand management, Aloft Hotels. "The hotel offers travelers a compelling blend of leading-edge design, a tech-forward mindset and a buzzing social scene.”
Aloft Long Island City - Manhattan View is close to numerous art galleries, shops, restaurants and businesses, including JetBlue Airways headquarters. Just minutes from both La Guardia Airport (LGA) and John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK), the hotel is a short subway ride from all top New York City attractions such as Times Square, the Empire State Building and the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
