New York City is converting the world’s tallest Holiday Inn hotel into the Big Apple’s sixth mega-shelter for its surging migrant population, Mayor Eric Adams announced Tuesday.
The deal will supply 492 rooms for adult families and single women, Adams said in a statement.
“With more than 44,000 asylum seekers arriving in the last 10 months alone, we have helped provide shelter and support to nearly as many asylum seekers as the number of New Yorkers we already had in our shelter system when we first came into office,” he said.
Terms of the contract weren’t announced, but The Post reported last month that the owner of the 50-story hotel in Manhattan’s Financial District had an agreement in place to charge NYC Health + Hospitals a nightly rate of $190 per room.
At full capacity, that would amount to $93,500 a day, or an estimated $10.5 billion through May 1, 2024.
Details of the pact were contained in court documents tied to bankruptcy proceedings involving the hotel, owned by Chinese developer Jubao Xie, which is saddled with debts that include $11 million in interest on loans.

Hey NYC deinzens - enjoy your taxes and the inevitable increases you fools keep paying.
You could not PAY ME to live in that armpit, much less make me pay the highest tax rate in the country. Along with the highest rent/ownership costs.
Will the hospitals in NYC survive?
If you have a few free minutes, call and ask them if they have a room for a week - and then ask if there are any of “those damn illegal aliens’ there, lol...

NYC being hoisted on its own petard of “sanctuary city” policies. I do not feel sorry for the majority of NY/NYC voters. They kept electing “sanctuary city” politicians, ignoring the moral and inevitably costly consequences.
Should have stayed in a Holiday Inn Express...................
The Military has tons of Tents
Here’s hoping they send thousands more to NYC to a deluxe apartment in the sky!!!
Ya, and we need how many thousands of new IRS commies to go get the money out of the pockets of hard working American citizens???
You could build 44,000 homes at a cost of 1/4 mil each for that 10.5 billion. but that’s just math
Those aren’t migrants
Sure sounds like New York could use another million or two Illegal Aliens, start loading the buses.
Um… your tax dollars are going to subsidize ever aspect of this, regardless of where you live.
Responsible citizens in other states are the only way NYC,LA, San Fran and every other democrat city in the country.
Real Americans would have stopped taxation without representation… but here we are.
And they are just getting warmed up.
Biden will bail NYC out so he can stick it to the taxpayers
My question is.. What is the lack of available hotel rooms, coupled massive influx of illegals doing to NYC’s tourism and hospitality industry?
I have to think. tourist/ business available hotel rooms, have becoming even more scarce, driving up cost.
lack of business people commuting into the city as well as (presumably) huge plunge in tourists have got to be taking a huge toll on restaurant, bars, theatre, museums etc..
I’m also wondering how adding THOUSANDS of these non English speaking and non assimilated illegals are affecting the mass transit system, healthcare and as you mentioned the businesses that rely on $$$$ which these illegals will not contribute to.
This shows Adams is Clueless
If they forced the illegals to eat there, they would probably want to go back where they came from.
And a Chinese owner so something seems off. Is this more collusion only with evil democrats in NYC and China instead of Russia? Money laundering????
