BY CARLOTTA MOHAMED
The development of a new
four-star hotel underway
in Downtown Flushing
will offer global travelers
and local residents an
unexpected lens on the
vibrant neighborhood.
SCG America and F&T
Group announced March 6
that Renaissance Hotels has
been selected as the brand
flag for the 208-key hotel
within Tangram, their 1.2
million-square-foot, mixeduse
development located at
136-20 38th Ave.
Once complete, the project
will comprise 1.2 million
square feet of residential,
commercial, retail, wellness
and entertainment offerings,
a 24,000 square-foot food hall
and beer garden, 324 luxury
residences across two towers,
a 12-story commercial tower
with 48 office condominium
units, and a state-of-theart
4DX movie theater from
Regal Cinemas.
The nine-story
Renaissance New York
Flushing Hotel at Tangram
is slated to open in early
2020.
“Our goal from day one
was to build the best hotel for
the world-class destination
we are creating at Tangram.
Renaissance Hotels is an
impressive global lifestyle
brand and could not have
been a better fit for us,” stated
Winfred Zhang, president
and CEO of SCG America.
“We are excited to work with
Renaissance Hotels to bring
their premium hospitality
platform to Flushing, further
distinguishing the area as a
New York City destination.”
Positioned minutes from
LaGuardia Airport and John
F. Kennedy International
Airport, Flushing is the first
stop for many international
travelers who are visiting
the United States. Inspired

Tangram embraces its
Flushing location to
introduce urban-style living
in the vein of top Asian
cities like Shanghai, Seoul
and Tokyo.
The Renaissance New
York Flushing Hotel at
Tangram will be the brand’s
first hotel in Queens and, as
one of the few 4-star hotels in
the borough, will introduce
a truly unique experience
through unexpected design,
engaging brand navigators
and entertaining evening
bar rituals.
With architecture

Architecture and interiors
by Wilson Associates, a
distinctive feature of the
hotel will be its arrival
experience — beginning at
the porte-cochere on 37th
Avenue, where guests are
whisked up to a top floor lobby
spanning the entire floor,
and enveloped in panoramic
views of Flushing Bay and the
Manhattan skyline.
Guests will also discover
an array of spaces to dine,
relax and socialize at a
signature restaurant, two
bars, a club lounge and an
expansive 3,500-squarefoot
outdoor terrace. In
addition to a 60-foot indoor
pool, a vitality pool, and a
fitness center with wellness
amenities like saunas,
steam showers and a salt
room. With direct indoor
passage to the retail mall
from the hotel, visitors won’t
have to step outside to find
the best food, beverage and
entertainment in Flushing.
