NEW YORK, April 26 — New York’s Times Square is going to get even more tourists crowding its streets, with the opening of a 234-room resort hotel from singer Jimmy Buffett’s lifestyle brand Margaritaville. 

In the heart of the city’s concrete jungle, Margaritaville will open a sprawling 29-story, tropical-themed resort complete with Tiki bars, palm trees and roof-top pool.

The resort brand better known for operating beachfront properties in sun-soaked places like Florida, the Cayman Islands, the Bahamas and Costa Rica announced plans to take over parts of Seventh Avenue by late 2020. 

The pitch? To offer guests a “much-needed escape from the everyday” and bring a “no worries vibe” to the city. 

The US$300 million (RM1.1 billion) property will feature several Margaritaville-branded food and dining spaces, including a rooftop LandShark Bar & Grill, 5 o’Clock Somewhere Bar, and Floridays Airstream Café.
