IHG Opens Crowne Plaza Hotel Near JFK International Airport

InterContinental Hotels Group has expanded its portfolio of New York hotels with the opening of the Crowne Plaza JFK Airport New York City hotel.

The property has undergone a significant multi-million dollar renovation funded by ERG JFK Hotel, LLC, featuring a unique interior design with runway murals on the lobby ceilings, guest room carpets and accent walls, and a modern glass design for the exterior façade.

Located at 138-10 135th Ave., this nine-story Crowne Plaza hotel is the brand’s seventh in the metro New York City area.

Amenities at the hotel include complimentary internet access, free parking, extended dining and bar service hours, a fitness center and a zen room for yoga and meditation.

The hotel has 330 guestrooms, including five one-bedroom suites and 14 junior suites, and is the only JFK airport hotel to offer a Presidential Suite.

“We’re incredibly excited to join the Crowne Plaza brand, which we feel is a strong fit for a global hub like JFK,” said Felix Maina, the hotel’s general manager. “Our close proximity to one of the world’s most heavily trafficked airports enables us to attract both business and leisure travelers as well as airline crews and passengers.”

The hotel’s Idlewild Restaurant pays homage to the airport’s original name. Guests can enjoy continental cuisine with a variety of menu items for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and extended service hours. Additionally, the hotel features the Crowne Plaza Sleep Advantage program, which 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 signature bedding, guaranteed wake-up calls, designated quiet zones and aromatherapy.
