Resorts World NYC is on the grounds of Aqueduct, a New York Racing Association (NYRA) thoroughbred track. While the hotel has always been part of our vision, today’s ribbon cutting takes on additional significance as we celebrate the Queens community and do our part to move New York Forward,” DeSalvio said in a statement. It’s also timely, he said, as the city continues to re-emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic.
Genting Americas East President Bob DeSalvio said opening the world-class hotel was a perfect way to celebrate Resort World’s 10th anniversary in New York. The lobby connecting the hotel to the casino is large enough to hold art exhibits and events like musical performances.
The eight-story hotel features 400 rooms, including 34 suites, and other amenities – including a Sugar Factory café. The $400 million hotel is the latest investment Genting has made at the Queens casino located at Aqueduct racetrack. Genting Americas East President Bob DeSalvio speaks at the Hyatt Regency JFK Airport at Resorts World New York City opening Friday. Executives from Genting Group and Hyatt Corporation gathered with local leaders to cut the ribbon on the $400 million Hyatt Regency JFK Airport at Resorts World New York.
New York City’s only casino got a little larger on Friday when the Big Apple’s newest hotel opened in Queens.
