Developer Picks Hilton Garden Inn to Operate Under-Construction Jamaica Hotel

Hilton Garden Inn will operate the hotel set to rise on the southern side of the Jamaica Long Island Rail Road tracks, right across from the JFK AirTrain Terminal. (Not to be confused with this other hotel set to rise next to the AirTrain Station, whose plans were announced earlier this month.) Able Management Group is developing this on former MTA-owned land and plans to build a 240-room, 26-story hotel at the cost of $35,000,000. It’ll also have a restaurant and bar on the ground floor facing Sutphin Avenue. The Times Ledger reports that the Hilton will be oriented toward business travelers.

The developers went into contract with the property in February and expect to release final plans of the project at the end of the month. The hotel architect is GF55 Partners.
