Massive Toyoko Inn to put slight dent in Manhattan’s hotel dominance: Project coming to LIC will be only hotel with more than 1,000 rooms in the outer boroughs

Manhattan is the undisputed king of the New York hotel market, with nearly all of the largest hotels dotting the streets of Midtown. But one project coming to Queens will disrupt this: the massive Toyoko Inn on its way to Long Island City.

The 50-story project will be located at 24-09 Jackson Avenue and contain 1,260 hotel rooms, which will make it the largest hotel in the outer boroughs and the ninth largest hotel in the city overall. It will be the only hotel outside of Manhattan in the top 10 by room count, according to a data analysis by The Real Deal.

Manhattan’s largest hotels are on a completely different scale than the largest hotels in the outer boroughs. The biggest in Manhattan—and the only hotel in New York with more than 2,000 rooms—is the 2,076-key Hilton at 1335 Sixth Avenue, followed closely by the 1,919-key Marriott Marquis at 1535 Broadway.

Outside of Manhattan, the biggest hotels are barely a quarter of this size. The largest hotel is the LaGuardia Airport Marriott in East Elmhurst, which has 450 rooms, followed by the Radisson at JFK Airport, which has 385 rooms. The smallest hotel to crack Manhattan’s top 20 list? The 702-key InterContinental New York Barclay at 111 East 48th Street.

Most of the top 20 outer borough hotels are in Queens, and the top four are all airport hotels. Brooklyn shows up for the first time with the newly-renovated 280-key Hotel Bossert in Brooklyn Heights, while Staten Island makes its first and only appearance at number 18, with the 198-key Hilton Garden Inn at 1100 South Avenue. The Bronx does not show up at all in the top 20.
