The Sheraton JFK Airport is also a smart choice as a meeting space for businesses looking to host seminars, training programs or events. With over 2,200-square-feet of meeting space, the Sheraton JFK guarantees a comfortable and versatile environment for all corporate needs. These gathering areas are not just limited to corporate functions though, notes Pettit. “We can also accommodate baby showers, bridal showers and even small weddings,” she said. “For both food and catering, we are more affordable than other venues and fullservice hotels in New York City.” Pettit notes that the Sheraton JFK Airport hotel is approximately $70 to $100 less expensive than other venues. The convenience of the Sheraton JFK Airport Hotel extends beyond travelers from different states and countries, too. Local residents can take advantage of staying the night before their flight out of JFK to enjoy the hotel’s airport parking privileges and avoid the fuss of driving to the airport. The Sheraton offers guests the convenient option to park at the hotel and take the shuttle to JFK International Airport for only $21 daily plus taxes. Guests can use the Sheraton’s parking for up to 10 days. The Sheraton JFK Airport Hotel is conveniently located just a half mile from JFK at the crossroads of 134th Avenue and South Conduit Avenue, which provides easy access to the Belt Parkway and Van Wyck Expressway. Just five miles from Belmont Park, eight miles from Citi Field and the U.S. Open Tennis Center, a short ride to the new Barclays Center and 12 miles from Manhattan, guests are within minutes of some of New York City’s greatest attractions, or they can sample some of the great cuisines of Howard Beach. Resorts World Casino is only five minutes away, and the hotel provides complimentary shuttle service back and forth for its guests. Yankee Stadium and the Bronx Zoo are other easily accessible venues that many guests venture out to explore. The Sheraton JFK Airport Hotel takes great pride in giving back to the community that it is a part of. “Each year we do at least one or two events that benefit the local Queens community,” says Pettit. “This past year, we partnered with the JFK Chamber, the Rotary, local companies affiliated with JFK Airport, the Interfaith Chapel at JFK and Panera Bread to sponsor a big barbecue fundraiser that benefitted local victims of Sandy. We also went to a soup kitchen as well.” Pettit notes that the hotel is also a member of the JFK Chamber of Commerce, the Queens Chamber of Commerce and the Rotary Club. Led by Pettit and her skilled sales team, customer service at the Sheraton JFK Airport Hotel is second to none. Pettit’s years of experience in New York City hospitality services have landed her back at the airports with Hersha Hotels as the Area Director of Sales of the Sheraton JFK and the Hilton Garden Inn JFK. “I’m privileged to have great leaders and associates working alongside me and tremendous support from the leadership and upper management of Hersha,” Pettit says.
