The opening of the avid hotel Brooklyn – Dyker Heights demonstrates our brand’s focus on growing our presence in the Americas region.

“We created this brand to meet the needs of our guests looking for the basics done exceptionally well at a fair price and in convenient locations, so it made sense for us to open a property in one of the most visited states and cities of the world.”
