Hyatt may soon be linked to a major development in New York City, potentially introducing the first casino to Manhattan. Development and gaming companies across the United States have been crafting plans to secure one of three new downstate New York gaming licenses for "table gaming casinos," as reported by CBS News.
One proposal is The Avenir, a large-scale gaming and entertainment complex proposed by Silverstein Properties, Rush Street Gaming, and Greenwood Gaming and Entertainment. This project is planned for Manhattan's far west side near the Javitz Center and Hudson Yards. The Avenir would feature a 785-foot-tall building with a casino, multiple bars and restaurants, event spaces, a spa, fitness center, outdoor pool, and entertainment venues.
The development would also include a 1,000-room hotel from Destination by Hyatt. This brand is described as "a diverse collection of independent hotels, resorts and residences that are individual at heart yet connected by a commitment to embody the true spirit of each location." At this early stage in the partnership—with only a letter of intent signed—the developers have revealed that "Luxury suites will be adorned with high-quality finishes and floor-to-ceiling glass windows that frame sweeping views of the New York City skyline."
