A 1,260-room hotel slated for construction
in Long Island City will be the
largest hotel built in the outer boroughs.
Th e Toyoko Inn at 24-09 Jackson
Ave. will stretch 50 stories and when
completed, will be the ninth largest
hotel in the city, according to Th e Real
Deal. Th e hotel will be located right
next to the Citi building and across the
street from the Court Square stop on
the 7 line.
Th e Japanese developers fi led plans
to construct the hotel last year and
purchased the property in 2007 for
$18 million. Toyoko Inn, a chain of
hotels founded in Japan in 1986, fi rst
announced plans to build a 680-room
hotel in Long Island City in 2010.
An analysis by Th e Real Deal found
that the Toyoko Inn will be the only
hotel featured in the top 10 by room
count not located in Manhattan. Its
analysis also found that most of the
top 20 hotels in the outer boroughs are
located in Queens; the biggest hotel
is LaGuardia Airport Marriott in East
Elmhurst with 450 rooms.
Th e chain, which has locations in
Japan and South Korea, is known to
charge reasonable prices for its rooms,
from 4480 to 7980 yen or $35 to $70
per night. Th e chain has expanded to
Cambodia, Philippines and Germany.
Th e Long Island City location will be its
fi rst in the United States, and a location
in France is slated for a 2018 opening.
President Maiko Kuroda took over
the company from her father in 2008
and has hired women almost exclusively
to run the company’s more than 260
hotels around the world. According to
the Japan Times, 97 percent of the company’s
hotels are managed by women.
It’s not clear when the Long Island
City location is scheduled to open.
