Wyndham Garden LaGuardia South

Though this just-opened hotel has LaGuardia in its name, it’s not right next to the airport but in Queens’ Rego Park neighborhood four miles away. It is a good stopover location for the airport though there is not a free shuttle, but the reason to book is for its proximity to Citi Field, Arthur Ashe Stadium, the New York Hall of Science and Flushing Meadows Park. (It’s also a 30-minute subway ride to Midtown.) For a chain hotel, the rooms and dining areas have a lifestyle hotel vibe, with yellow pillows, grey-brown wood furniture, subway tiles and de-rigueur industrial lighting. Guests also have access to the 24-hour Retro Gym in the same building, perfect for workouts between matches at the U.S. Open.
