Dynamic four-star hotel from Marriott International’s Renaissance brand to anchor transformative mixed-use development redefining the lifestyle of Flushing, Queens.
NEW YORK – SCG America and F&T Group announced that Renaissance Hotels has been selected as the brand flag for the 208-key hotel within Tangram, their 1.2-million-square-foot, mixed-use development that seamlessly blends where people live, work and play as the new epicenter of Flushing, Queens. Currently under construction and scheduled to open in early 2020, the nine-story Renaissance New York Flushing Hotel at Tangram will offer global travelers and local residents an unexpected lens on this vibrant neighborhood.
“Our goal from day one was to build the best hotel for the world-class destination we are creating at Tangram. Renaissance Hotels is an impressive global lifestyle brand and could not have been a better fit for us,” stated Winfred Zhang, president and CEO of SCG America. “We are excited to work with Renaissance Hotels to bring their premium hospitality platform to Flushing, further distinguishing the area as a New York City destination.”
Positioned minutes from LaGuardia Airport and John F Kennedy International Airport, Flushing is the first stop for many international travelers who are visiting the United States. Inspired by the traditional Chinese dissection puzzle consisting of flat pieces called tans, Tangram embraces its Flushing location to introduce urban-style living in the vein of top Asian cities like Shanghai, Seoul and Tokyo. Tangram was thoughtfully designed to be a year-round lifestyle destination, and the Renaissance New York Flushing Hotel is a central part of that equation. The project also showcases 275,000 square feet of cutting-edge retail with a skylight; themed restaurants; a 24,000-square-foot food hall and beer garden; a variety of entertainment options including a state-of-the-art 4DX movie theater from Regal Cinemas; 324 luxury residences across two towers; and a 12-story commercial tower with 48 office condominium units.
The Renaissance New York Flushing Hotel at Tangram will be the brand’s first hotel in Queens and, as one of the few 4-star hotels in the borough, will introduce a truly unique experience through unexpected design, engaging brand navigators and entertaining evening bar rituals. Renaissance Hotels is a dynamic brand within the Marriott International portfolio that is sought after across the world by travelers who desire distinctly local, personalized service. Each flag is entrenched in its neighborhood, with onsite ambassadors who guide guests to explore nearby gems – from the best museums to the most buzzed about restaurants. As part of Tangram, the Renaissance New York Flushing Hotel will take this philosophy to the next level as a new focal point of Flushing.
With architecture by Margulies Hoelzli Architecture and interiors by Wilson Associates, the Renaissance New York Flushing Hotel at Tangram will set the scene for the spontaneous to happen, creating engaging elements at every turn and inviting guests to experience something they weren’t planning. A distinctive feature of the hotel will be its arrival experience – beginning at the porte-cochere on 37th Avenue where guests are whisked up to a top floor lobby spanning the entire floor and enveloped in panoramic views of Flushing Bay and the Manhattan skyline. Guests will also discover an array of spaces to dine, relax and socialize at a signature restaurant, two bars, a club lounge and an expansive 3,500-square-foot outdoor terrace. In addition to a 60-foot indoor pool, a vitality pool, and a fitness center with wellness amenities like saunas, steam showers and a salt room, hotel guests will also enjoy the convenience of having all of Tangram right at their fingertips. With direct indoor passage to the retail mall from the hotel, visitors need not step outside to find the best food, beverage and entertainment in Flushing.
“We are thrilled to bring our Renaissance brand to the Tangram development, which is creating a new, vibrant and walkable destination in Queens,” said Noah Silverman, Chief Development Officer, North America, Full-Service Hotels at Marriott International. “The hotel will set a new standard for lodging, dining and socializing for residents, neighbors and both business and leisure travelers.”
