Best Wedding Hotels in Long Island

This chic boutique has a lot of things going for it. Its Long Island City location is less than a 10-minute drive from Manhattan's East Side, while its funky, Jazz Age-inspired furnishings and gray color scheme are sure to please the stylish set. According to guests, the Z Roof, a rooftop lounge, has some of the best views of the Empire State Building, the Chrysler Building and the rest of the city skyline. And if you're craving more than cocktails, you can nosh on all-American fare at Z Restaurant and Lounge. Previous visitors loved the look and feel of the rooms, which include art deco furnishings and massive windows, and commented on the impressive staff. However, one common criticism is that it's at least a 10-minute hike to the nearest subway station that transports travelers into the city.

Similar to its Long Island City neighbor, the Z Hotel NYC, the Ravel boasts a stylish rooftop lounge that offers sweeping views of the city skyline. And recent travelers don't mind the look of their bill either: Ravel's rates are more affordable than what you'll find in Manhattan. But some previous visitors say the service is hit or miss. Guests highly praise the check-in desk, while others complain about the rude bouncers and other rooftop lounge employees. As far as bedding down is concerned, here you'll cozy up in 400-thread-count Egyptian cotton linens and a plush down comforter as you enjoy creature comforts such as a 32-inch plasma HDTV and complimentary Wi-Fi access. When hunger strikes, venture to Penthouse808 to indulge in mouthwatering Asian fusion fare with a side of city views, though recent guests warn that the noise from the restaurant and lounge can be heard within the guest rooms at night.
