Since its establishment in 1874, The Garden City Hotel has attracted generations of luminaries, including figures like the Vanderbilts, the Astors, the Kennedys, Margaret Thatcher, and George H.W. Bush. Among its most noteworthy visitors was Charles Lindbergh, who stayed at the hotel the night before his historic transatlantic flight in 1927.

Today, this AAA Four-Diamond hotel is a prime resting place for both tourists and traveling businessmen. Professionals heading to New York City can relish their business trip as if it was a vacation, at this luxurious retreat tucked away from the crowded bustle of Manhattan. Nestled in the charming and tranquil town of Garden City, on Long Island, it is surrounded by lush greenery and scenic vistas. It is conveniently located close to John F. Kennedy International Airport and just across the street from the Long Island Railroad, allowing guests to comfortably commute into Manhattan, a 40-minute train ride away. And it’s just a few minutes from Belmont Park, making it perfect for New York’s horse racing fans.

Epitomizing classic splendor and modern-day comfort, the hotel’s 269 capacious and impeccably clean guest rooms and suites are all adorned with custom millwork and Italian furnishings, plush pillow-top mattresses, sparkling baths with Molton Brown amenities, and technology for connecting all your mobile devices. The hotel’s amenities include a 24-hour fitness center, a newly renovated pool, the Red Door Spa by Elizabeth Arden, and a luxury car rental service allowing guests to relish a drive in the world’s automotive icons, from the Lamborghini Gallardo to the Bentley Continental GTC.

 

The Garden City Hotel offers 30,000 square feet of versatile space for meetings and events, including an exquisite Grand Ballroom.

 

“Our singular focus is to provide our guests with an atmosphere of warmth, luxury, and unparalleled service,” says Grady Colin, general manager of The Garden City Hotel. “Let us cater to your every whim.” Known for their stellar customer service, the hotel staff always generously accommodate the requests they receive from guests, truly creating a home away from home. For instance, if you find your pillow is too soft or too hard, you can simply dial the front desk. Soon you’ll hear a knock at your door and you’ll have a basket full of different pillows to choose from.

To revamp its food and beverage enterprise, The Garden City Hotel recently partnered with esteemed chef David Burke. A renowned culinary pioneer, he has helmed some of New York City’s best restaurants, was featured on Iron Chef America and Top Chef Masters, and was inducted into the James Beard Foundation’s Who’s Who of Food & Beverage in America. The hotel features two new Burke restaurants, King Bar and Red Salt Room, and also continues to serve its classic Saturday Afternoon Tea and its legendary Sunday Brunch. Both are in David Burke fashion, including many of his signature dishes like Angry Lobster, Burke’s Dumplings, Clothesline Candied Bacon, Cheesecake Lollipops, and beyond.

For many locals, The Garden City Hotel is a central fixture in their lives, the venue where both they and their children have celebrated some of the happiest moments of their lives. Over the decades, the hotel has hosted thousands of exquisite weddings in its mesmerizing grand ballroom, becoming a part of people’s cherished memories. Now in its fourth reincarnation—twice resurrected, after a fire in 1899 and demolition in 1973—The Garden City Hotel continues to welcome guests with the same sophistication and elegance it did nearly a century and a half ago.
