Loyalty Guide to New York City recently opened hotels

This post organizes newly opened New York City hotels by hotel loyalty program and shows the cost of a reward night.

NYC & Company at nycgo.com compiled a New York City briefing sheet on Hotel Development in NYC distributed at International Pow Wow 2011. I do not see the paper I have online, but here is a similar briefing sheet from six months ago. The paper covers recently opened hotels in the five boroughs of New York City and a list of hotels scheduled to open in the next two years.

42% of new NYC hotels were built outside of Manhattan in the past three years from 2008 to 2011. The city has seen a 25% increase in hotel rooms in the past five years from 72,625 rooms to more than 90,000 active inventory rooms by the end of 2011.

There are 86,230 hotel rooms in New York City in active inventory as of April 30, 2011. Occupancy rates averaged 85% in 2010 and average daily rate, ADR was $263 for April 2011.

Here are some of the hotels opened since 2010 and hotels in the pipeline for opening in the next two years across major hotel loyalty programs.

2010 and 2011 Hotel Openings in New York City organized by hotel chain:

Room data shown here is mainly from NYC & Company press release. I found some discrepancies with numbers compared to hotel website room number at a couple of hotels.

Best Western Hotels – Best Western Rewards

Best Western Plus Prospect Park, Brooklyn – 99 rooms, opened December 2010. Best Western Rewards 28,000 points.

Best Western Plus Arena Hotel Brooklyn  – 56 rooms. Best Western Rewards 24,000 points.

    Awesome, thanks. Hoping to get to NYC soon.

    Anyone have an opinion on that Staybridge Times Square for 20K PC points?

  • Logan June 3, 2011

    Andaz 5th is in Cat 5 for 18k I think

  • Quasiconvexity June 3, 2011

    You left out the Chatwal, an SPG Luxury Collection hotel. It joined the SPG portfolio a month or so back (Cat 6)

  • Ric Garrido June 3, 2011

    @Logan – Andaz Fifth Avenue is category 6, but thanks since I misplaced Andaz Wall Street which is category 5 at 18,000 points.

    @Quasiconvexity – Thanks. I missed that property and it is now on the list.

    My wife stayed at the Staybridge Suites NY just last week. She says that it’s a very nice place, clean, friendly staff. Nice breakfast (also they allow taking food to rooms). It takes a long time to get an elevator. Rooms are not so big but comfortable.

    There is a web site http://www.newsleeps.com that lists nothing but newly opened or opening soon hotels, motels, resorts.
