Hotel Babylon?
Developers met with residents of Babylon Village to solicit ideas and comments about building a boutique hotel in Babylon on the site of the bus depot, which has frontage on George Street and Deer Park Avenue. The proposal also calls for an adjoining parking lot.
Residents raised ideas, including changing the proposed European design to a more historical look to keep in line with the character of the Village.
George Tsunis, the developer, said not plans have been finalized nor filed with the Village and he and his partners were looking, at this time, to simply gain input from the community before proceeding.
