Hyatt Regency JFK Airport at Resorts World New York debuted last week in Queens. The eight-story, 400-room hotel offers additional gaming areas, a Sugar Factory Restaurant, fitness center and conference and meeting spaces.
The centerpiece of the property is a lobby, ideal for art exhibits, events and musical performances, that connects the hotel with Resorts World New York City (RWNYC), which opened in 2011. The hotel’s opening was marked by a ribbon-cutting ceremony attended by executives from Genting, which owns the hotel and casino, and Hyatt, as well as local elected officials and community leaders.
Located minutes away from JFK Airport, the hotel is easily accessible by the A Train, Q37 bus, and Long Island Rail Road to Jamaica Station with pickup from a free casino shuttle.
Guestrooms
Among the accommodation choices, there are 275 king rooms, 91 double rooms and 34 suites. Thanks to its location near the JFK Airport, the variety of accommodations suits business, as well as leisure travelers. The oversized suites are designed to make guests feel at home with kitchenettes and separate living spaces. Many of the guestrooms offer floor-to-ceiling windows looking out to the city's skyline.
Entertainment
The property offers 6,500 slots and electronic table games. Resorts World New York City has three levels of gaming— Times Square Casino, Fifth Avenue Casino and Central Park Casino—along with several high-limit rooms.
The $400 million hotel and amenities investment has long been part of Genting’s vision of bringing a destination resort, popular in global locations such as Las Vegas and Singapore, to New York City. The resort also has a variety of non-gaming amenities to complement the gaming products and entertainment offerings, allowing guests of all interests and budgets an experience that fits their personal tastes.
This development brings the total investment in Resorts World New York City to over $1.1 billion after Genting spent more than $700 million to enhance the existing Aqueduct grandstand.
Meetings and Events
The resort encompasses 5,000 square feet of total function space. The rooms are designed to host a range of events, including corporate meetings, art exhibits and community programs.
Including Resorts World New York City, the property will now have more than 64,000 square feet of event space.
Dining
Sugar Factory, the popular café and confectionary shop, is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Its signature menu items include decadent milkshakes and old-fashioned sundaes. Additional food and beverage options include a convenient Grab n' Go.
Regency Club guests can enjoy daily continental breakfast and evening hors d'oeuvres and light snacks at this exclusive club.
