188-room conversion property flying Crowne Plaza flag near MacArthur Airport
IHG (InterContinental Hotels Group) [LON: IHG, NYSE:IHG (ADRs)], the world's largest hotel group by number of rooms, today announced that the Crowne Plaza Long Island-MacArthur Airport has opened, after a conversion from Radisson.
"We're pleased to add another Crowne Plaza hotel to our existing portfolio of nearly 15 properties in the New York City metro area," said Gina LaBarre, vice president, Brand Management, Crowne Plaza Hotels & Resorts, the Americas. "We've recently opened properties at the Newark airport and in Edison, N.J., and our flagship hotel in Times Square just completed an $85 million renovation. The Long Island property is an exceptional location to grow our presence in one of the nation's top travel destinations."
Conveniently located in the heart of Long Island, the hotel is only minutes away from breathtaking beaches, wine country, museums, major businesses, shopping and attractions. Whether guests are headed east to the jet-setting Hamptons or west to the fabulous sights of Manhattan, the Crowne Plaza's immediate access to the Long Island Expressway makes getting there easy.
The MacArthur Airport is less than six miles from the hotel, and LaGuardia Airport and JFK International Airport are both a short drive away. Major companies such as Symbol Technologies, Brookhaven National Labs, Computer Associates and the Internal Revenue Service are only a short distance from the hotel. Robert Moses State Park and the historic community of Port Jefferson are both nearby.
The hotel features the Crowne Plaza Sleep Advantage, which is available at all Crowne Plaza hotels in the Americas. Sleep Advantage encompasses the entire sleep experience, from training staff on how to create and maintain a restful environment to providing innovative products and services. Program components include new bedding, guaranteed wake-up calls, designated quiet zones, night lights, drape clips, sleep CDs, sleep tips and amenities such as eye masks, ear plugs and lavender spray.
Also consistent with the Crowne Plaza brand, the hotel offers a comprehensive meetings program to ensure a seamless planning process and exceptional meeting experience consisting of three key components: a Two-Hour Response Guarantee, Crowne Meetings Director and a Daily Meetings Debrief. The hotel has 5,500 square feet of flexible upscale meeting space for business functions or special events, including a 3,000 square foot ballroom.
Guests can enjoy their favorite sporting events at YOGI'S Grill & Sports Bar, open seven days a week for breakfast, lunch and dinner. This unique state-of-the-art concept restaurant offers nonstop sports and entertainment with 42" inch HD flat-screen televisions throughout, two eight-foot large screens and personal listening stations at each table.
The Crowne Plaza Long Island-MacArthur Airport is owned by Holtsville Hospitality, LLC, and managed by Om Hospitality, LLC, under a license agreement with a company in the InterContinental Hotels Group.
"We're investing $7 million to bring this property up to Crowne Plaza brand standards, and we're looking forward to completing our renovation soon," said Ashok Pancholi, president, Om Hospitality, LLC. "We're excited to bring Crowne Plaza's meetings expertise and commitment to a good night's sleep to one of the most convenient locations in Long Island."
The Crowne Plaza Long Island-MacArthur Airport is located at 1730 North Ocean Ave., Holtsville, N.Y., 11742.
