Aloft Hotels Debuts First Property in Long Island City

Just prior to the New Year, Marriott International, Inc. opened Aloft Long Island City – Manhattan View. While this marks the fourth Aloft hotel in New York City, it’s the first in Queens.

Owned by Select Development and managed by Real Hospitality, Aloft Long Island City - Manhattan View has 176 loft-style rooms, 1,000 square feet of flexible meeting space, a rooftop terrace offering panoramic views of the NYC skyline, and more.

Aloft chose Long Island City because they felt the up-and-coming city mimicked their design-driven, tech-forward, and sociable guests. Aloft Long Island City - Manhattan View is close to numerous restaurants, art galleries, and landmarks, including Times Square, the Empire State Building, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art (all of which are a short subway ride away).

Aloft Long Island City - Manhattan View uses SPG Keyless, the industry’s first keyless entry system that enables guests to use their smartphone or Apple watch as a room key. Guests will also have access to: fast and free Wi-Fi throughout the property; a Re:charge fitness center; Re:fuel by Aloft, a one-stop gourmet grab & go food and beverage area; and live local music at the brand's W XYZ bar as part of the Live At Aloft Hotels music series.
