The Garden City Hotel marks the 2009 Belmont Stakes by celebrating its 141th running on Thursday, June 4 through race day on Saturday, June 6.
The Garden City Hotel has had a tradition of hosting a who’s who from the horse racing world. Guests have included the Belmont family who visited Long Island for such sporting occasions but also fashionable galas in the hotel’s ballroom. Today, the race’s horse owners, trainers, jockeys and spectators continue to make The Garden City Hotel their main gathering spot outside of Belmont Park.
In 2009, The Garden City Hotel will continue to sponsor the Belmont Festival.
The luxury property’s Rein Bar & Bistro will be a favorite gathering spot. Racing news will be broadcast on three large-format plasma television screens that may be viewed while sitting at the rear-lit onyx bar, or, more intimately, table side in the rarified lounge-like room. Breakfast, lunch, dinner and late night menus by award-winning Executive Chef Steven De Bruyn
