“The brand-new Best Western Arena Hotel in Brooklyn is in a prime location and further expands Best Western’s footprint in the critical New York metro area, “ said Mark Williams, vice president, North American development for Best Western International. “The new hotel’s proximity to Manhattan and John F. Kennedy International Airport makes it an ideal lodging choice for business and leisure travelers.”

Located within walking distance to the Atlantic Terminal, guests have convenient access to a variety of attractions including the Barclays Center, future home for the Nets NBA team, Brooklyn Children’s Museum, Brooklyn Academy of Music, the Brooklyn Museum and the world-famous, Coney Island. Just minutes from the hotel, guests will also enjoy shopping at Atlantic Terminal Mall and Macy’s.

“Brooklyn is quickly becoming a top destination for tourists, business and leisure travelers, and with the new Barclays Center, a new sports arena for the New Jersey Nets scheduled to open in 2011, our hotel will be a great addition to the city,” said Mukesh Patel, owner of the Best Western Arena Hotel.  “We are only six blocks from the new arena and the only hotel and first stop along the Long Island Rail Road, making it a convenient stay whether they’re in the area for work or play.”
