What's New In Nassau
Strategically situated — on aviation's fabled
Mitchel field, hard by the Veterans Memorial
Coliseum - is Long Island's newest, tallest, largest
and most luxurious hotel. It is the Long
Island Marriott, the first unit of that famed international
hospitality chain to be built on Long
Island.
The $27-million super-hotel, with its gleaming
10-story twin towers, faces east over Meadow-brook
Parkway with large (main) entrances on
both the Meadowbrook side and on the west (Coliseum)
side. It is scheduled for formal opening
early January, 1983, when it will become the newest
"member" of Marriott's 118-unit family.
Besides being the largest hotel on Long Island,
with 391 rooms, the Marriott will have the
Island's largest hotel ballroom; it will seat 900 for
banquets and 1200 for meetings or conventions.
The twin buildings, constructed of reinforced
and p re-cast concrete which, along with the built-in
accoutrements, combine to offer the utmost in
safety and esthetic values. A cementitous coating
on the poured-in-place walls gives the bright,
gleaming effect.
Architecturally and structurally, probably the
most notable feature — which gives the Marriott
hospitality/recreation center a new dimension —
is the maximum utilization of natural light. Starting
with the lobby, a sun-filled four-story atrium
by day, the designers have capitalized on natural
lighting — sunlight on a clear day and starlight at
night.
Large sliding glassi.panels on the slanting roof
over the swimming pool, located off the hotel's
main floor, can be opened in the warm months to
make the facility an outdoor pool and closed in
the colder months for indoor swimming. There
will be 35 special rooms with sliding doors that
will open out on the pool deck and on the balcony
above the pool. The hotel management has plans
to make these pool-side units available on a day-rate
basis for family or group parties on hot
summer days, with a salad bar and buffet lunch
available at poolside.
Skylighting has also been utilized in other sections
of the hotel, supplementing the patio restaurant
and sidewalk cafe — all designed to capitalize
on Long Island's delightful April to autumn
clime.
Besides the indoor/outdoor pool the hotel will
have complete health club facilities, with two rac-quetball
courts, a hydro-therapy pool, exercise
room and a game room.
Already the $27-million Marriott has been a
boon to Long Island's economy, having provided
work for more than 500 building craftsmen (at
peak) for more than a year plus the purchase of
many material items locally. A staff of nearly 300
men and women, nearly all of them from Long
Island, will be required to operate the hotel. Add
to this the crew of Marriott management specialists
who have been transferred here and have
established homes on Long Island and it is certain
to make more than a ripple on the area's
economy.
Architects for the Long Island Marriott were
Gencorelli & Salo of Mineola, L.I. and John
Nichols of Nichols & Associates, Coral Gables,
Florida (design consultants). Architectural design
was coordinated with the Marriott Design
Department in Washington, D.C.
General Contractor on the project is Walter
Perlstein, Inc. of North Massapequa, L.I. Alan
August, a partner in Walter Perlstein is the project
manager. Nearly all of the subcontractors on
the multi-million construction project are
Li-based.
