What?! How about the Best Western Arena Hotel?
The New York Marriott at the Brooklyn Bridge has been named the Barclays Center's official hotel -- and officials say the designation means the hotel will be a top choice of visiting basketball teams, performers and others attending future arena events.
Officials for the under-construction, 18,000-seat Prospect Heights arena and Muss Development, which oversees the nearby 667-room hotel in the borough's Downtown, announced the partnership yesterday. It includes a number of cross-promotional activities, including two branded guest service centers at the NBA's Nets new arena, which opens Sept. 28.
The Atlantic 10 conference is among the first to take advantage of the partnership. The league will be using the Brooklyn Marriott on Adams Street as its hotel headquarters for the A-10 Men's Basketball Championships next season, which will be held at Barclays Center.
