Work is now underway on the 17th floor of the 35-story, 612-key DoubleTree by Hilton hotel under development at 350 West 40th Street, in the Garment District of Midtown.

The hotel rooms should average a budget-sized 290 square feet apiece. Guest amenities include a fitness center, storage for 18 bikes, a restaurant on the ground floor, and a rooftop lounge & bar.

Reveal for Six-Story, 156-Key Marriott Hotel Proposed at 43 Broadway, Lynbrook, Long Island

A preliminary rendering has been revealed of the proposed six-story, 156-key Courtyard by Marriott hotel at 43 Broadway, located on the corner of Broadway and Langdon Place in downtown Lynbrook.

The village board is expected to make a final decision this fall, once all studies have been reviewed and public hearings have been held, LI Herald reported. The hotel would include a built-in 306-car parking garage, where 96 spaces would be used by the hotel and the remaining for municipal and commuter purposes. The village’s Long Island Rail Road station is located two blocks away.
