ATLANTA—InterContinental Hotels Group announces the opening of the Crowne Plaza Airport New York City hotel. The property has undergone a significant multi-million dollar renovation funded by ERG JFK Hotel LLC, featuring a unique interior design with runway murals on the lobby ceilings, guestroom carpets and accent walls, and a modern glass design for the exterior façade.

The nine-story hotel has 330 guestrooms, including five one-bedroom suites and 14 junior suites, and is the only JFK airport hotel to offer a presidential suite.
