The Garden City Hotel

Old World grandeur in Long Island
VERIFIED LUXURY
Celebrating nearly 150 years of luxury on Long Island, The Garden City Hotel is the area’s longest-operating property, and its most prestigious. Interior designer Marcello Pozzi reimagined the originally formal and traditional backdrop into a striking, contemporary classic.

An atrium enlightens Red Hots Spa on the lower level; coffered ceilings heighten parts of the 30,000-square-foot event space while Murano chandeliers, Carrera tile, mahogany flooring, custom-made Italian furnishings — many covered in soft, supple leather — contribute to a sumptuous setting.

Set in charming Garden City, the hotel’s location offers easy access to Manhattan, JFK and LaGuardia airports and to Long Island’s major entertainment venues, like the UBS Arena, Nassau Coliseum, Jones Beach Theater and the Westbury Music Fair. It’s also down the road from Long Island’s biggest shopping mall, the upscale Roosevelt Field.
