A centerpiece of Station Area development is a new hotel. The hotel is anticipated to have 250 rooms with 15,000 square feet of banquet and meeting space, along with parking. The hotel will be unique in that it will be the only hotel connected to JFK International Airport; guests will be able to transfer directly from the airport to the hotel via AirTrain. Southeastern Queens has long sought a community meeting and celebration space, and the hotel banquet facility will be much in demand.
