E wehe ʻo Sheraton Brooklyn i kona mau puka i ka Pōʻalima e hoʻomaka ana i kahi au hou o ka hoʻokūkū ma kahi panalāʻau i mālama ʻole ʻia e ka ʻoihana hōkele.
No ka aneane 12 makahiki, ʻo ka Marriott ma ke kaona ʻo Brooklyn wale nō ka hōkele ʻoihana piha o ka panalāʻau, e hauʻoli ana i kahi monopoly kokoke i ka wā e hoʻopaʻa ʻia ai ka nui o nā ʻohi kālā kālaiʻāina kūloko, bar mitzvahs, nā hui hui a me nā ʻahaʻaina kaiāulu.
E pau ana kēlā noho aliʻi ʻana i ka wā e ʻoki ai ka Sheraton i ka lipine ma kāna hōkele 321 lumi hou ma kahi mau poloka. ʻO ka Sheraton Brooklyn, kahi hōʻailona ma lalo o Starwood Hotels & Resorts, he ʻāpana o ka hoʻonui ʻia ʻana o $5 biliona o ke kaulahao e komo pū ana me ka wehe ʻana i 50 mau hōkele a puni ka honua i nā makahiki ʻekolu e hiki mai ana. Hoʻomaka ʻia ke kaulahao hōkele e wehe i kahi Sheraton ma Tribeca i Kepakemapa.
Hele mai ka wehe ʻana o Brooklyn i ka wā e hoʻi hou ana nā hōkele o New York City mai ka hāʻule ʻana ma mua o ke koena o ka ʻoihana. Ua hoʻoneʻe ʻia nā mea kūʻai aku e hoʻopau i nā hoʻomaha a me nā ʻoihana e hōʻemi i ka huakaʻi ʻoihana e koi ana i nā kaulahao hōkele e hāʻawi i nā kumukūʻai haʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa e hoʻopiha ai i nā lumi ʻole.
Akā ke ʻike nei ʻo New York i ka ulu ʻana o ka mākaʻikaʻi a me nā huakaʻi ʻoihana. Ua piʻi ka nui o ka noho ʻana ma nā hōkele o New York City i 72% i ka hapaha mua, ʻoi aku ka 11.6 pakeneka mai ka makahiki i hala, e like me ka Smith Travel Research.
Eia nō naʻe, ua hoʻonui ka loaʻa kālā i kēlā me kēia lumi i loaʻa iā 7.6% i $135 aʻo ka awelika aupuni i hāʻule i 2% i $50.
No nā makahiki, ʻo ka naʻauao maʻamau ʻaʻole hiki iā Brooklyn ke kākoʻo i kahi hōkele nui. Ma hope o nā mea a pau, makemake ka hapa nui o ka poʻe mākaʻikaʻi a me ka poʻe mākaʻikaʻi ʻoihana e noho ma Manhattan kokoke i nā hale kiʻiʻoniʻoni, nā hale ʻaina a me nā wahi mākaʻikaʻi.
Ua wehe ʻia ka New York Marriott ma Brooklyn Bridge i ka makahiki 1998 a ua hōʻoia koke i ka hewa o ka poʻe kānalua ma ka huki ʻana i nā huakaʻi ʻoihana a me nā mākaʻikaʻi. Ma 2006, ua hoʻonui ʻia ka nui o nā lumi i 668 mai 376.
"Ua lilo ʻo Brooklyn i wahi huakaʻi," wahi a ka mea hoʻomohala o Mariott, ʻo Joshua Muss. "Ma nā ʻano he nui [ma mua o] Manhattan ma ke ʻano o ka edginess ... nā wahi meaʻai [a me] nā hale noho."
ʻO kahi hapa o ka holomua o Mr. Muss i loaʻa mai i ka hiki i ka Marriott ke huki i nā hanana kaiāulu. Ua hoʻolimalima nā hui ʻo Brooklyn i kāna ʻahaʻaina a me ka lumi hālāwai ma mua o ka hele ʻana i Manhattan. Ua kaulana pū ka Marriott me ka poʻe Orthodox Iudaio kaiāulu no ka mea he kīhini kosher i hoʻolaʻa ʻia.
Ke hoʻomākaukau nei ka Sheraton e hopu i kekahi o ka māhele mākeke o Marriott. Loaʻa iā ia kahi kīhini kosher piha a me 4,300 kapuaʻi kuea o ka lumi hālāwai.
"Hiki iā mākou ke hoʻokō i nā pono o ka poʻe malihini e komo mai ana, akā ʻo ke kaiāulu kūloko pū kekahi," wahi a Hoyt Harper, ka pelekikena kiʻekiʻe a me ke alakaʻi hōʻailona honua no Sheraton Hotels and Resorts.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Mr. Muss ʻaʻole ʻo ia i hopohopo i ke keiki hou ma ka poloka.
"Ke manaʻoʻiʻo nei au… ʻAʻole hiki ke hoʻokūkū ʻia ʻo Marriott Brooklyn Bridge a paʻa iā ia iho no nā makahiki he nui e hiki mai ana," wahi āna. "ʻAʻole wau i manaʻo e hiki i kekahi ke hoʻohālikelike i ka ʻoluʻolu, nā pono, kahi [a me] kahi kaʻa."
Na ka Lam Group ka Sheraton Brooklyn, kahi mea hoʻomohala o New York nona nā hōkele he nui ma New York, a ke mālama ʻia nei e Sheraton.
Ua hoʻolālā mua ke kaulahao hōkele e wehe i ka makahiki i hala, akā ua lohi ka hoʻokuʻu ʻana no ka hoʻokele waiwai. "ʻIke loa me ka hoʻokele waiwai, makemake mākou i kahi manawa hou aʻe e hoʻopau ai i ke kaʻina hana," wahi a Mr. Harper.
Ua wehe ʻia kekahi mau hōkele hale kūʻai me ka ʻole o ka hale ʻaha kūkā ma Brooklyn i nā makahiki i hala iho nei me ka Hotel NU ma ke kūlanakauhale a me ka Hotel Le Bleu ma Park Slope.
Manaʻo ʻia ʻo Starwood Hotels e wehe i kahi hōkele Aloft, kāna hōʻailona hou, i ʻOkakopa.
Nui nā hōkele ʻē aʻe i hoʻolālā ʻia akā ʻaʻole i haʻalele i ka papa kiʻi no ka hoʻokele waiwai.
Aia ma kahi o 20 mau hōkele me nā moena a me nā ʻaina kakahiaka ma Brooklyn, kahi liʻiliʻi liʻiliʻi i hāʻawi ʻia i ka hale he 2.5 miliona mau kānaka.
