The Avenir, a mixed-use casino complex proposed for the West Side of Manhattan, will have a 1,000-room hotel affiliated with Hyatt if the developer wins approval.

The luxury hotel would be called The Avenir and be part of the Destination by Hyatt collection of independent hotels and the World of Hyatt loyalty program.

Developer Silverstein Properties envisions that the proposed complex would drive increased convention business to the nearby Javits Center.

"New York City is competing globally for exhibitions, conventions and meetings," said Tal Kerret, president of Silverstein Properties. "We've assembled an extraordinary team of food and beverage partners, and now a leading hotel brand that will help support and add to New York's vital tourism and convention industries." 

Plans call for full-service restaurants and a food hall showcasing local eateries.  

Hyatt head of Americas development Dan Hansen said the hotel would be a "significant milestone in our strategic expansion in key travel destinations." 

Eight developers remain in the bidding for the West Side casino project after Related Companies, Oxford Properties and Wynn Resorts pulled out.
