Roosevelt Island🌳
Once home to prisons, hospitals, and asylums, Roosevelt Island has undergone a remarkable transformation. Known as Welfare Island from 1921, it was renamed Roosevelt Island in 1973 and began developing into the residential community it is today.
Now, the island combines residential neighbourhoods with green parks, historic landmarks and waterfront views, offering a quieter setting within New York City.
Stop at this tranquil oasis away from the bustle of the city, and discover a different side of New York. We can also help you find a great stay nearby, giving you an ideal base to explore Roosevelt Island and Manhattan.
