Long Island City’s upcoming Dream Hotel will have serious eats.
The four-story, 254-room hotel will boast six food and beverage venues spread out over 20,000 square feet, including one signature chef restaurant, according to CEO Jay Stein.
There will also be a 10,000-square-foot indoor/outdoor rooftop lounge and an 8,000-square-foot banquet space. The hotel is being developed by Barone Management in partnership with the Dream Hotel Group.
Slated to open in 2019, Dream is currently in talks with several food and beverage operators, a spokesman said.
The hotel, at 9-03 44th Road, will take up a full city block and — at 137 feet high — offer impressive views of the Manhattan skyline.
It is part of the Dream Hotel Group’s global expansion. The company’s plan is to open five more US hotels by 2019, including a Times Square Dream Hotel in 2018.
DHG is also moving into the Middle East (Doha, Qatar) and is eyeing Rome. It has committed to spending $1.5 billion in new hotel development, a spokesman said. This is in addition to the Dream Hotel in Phuket, Thailand.
The company, founded by Chairman Sant Singh Chatwal, has recently been revamped and renamed. Second-generation hotelier Vikram Chatwal, the force behind the Dream, Time and Night hotel brands, is getting his own reality TV show, Page Six reported in May.
