Teaneck Marriott at Glenpointe Amps Up Its Food & Beverage Game with New Additions and Refreshed Favorites

The Teaneck Marriott at Glenpointe in Teaneck New Jersey, less than 10 miles from midtown Manhattan, is starting the new year with an enhanced focus on F&B with several new additions to the offerings at the 353-room hotel.

The hotel is owned by Alfred Sanzari Enterprises and is managed by White Lodging Services.

In late November, James Cushinan joined the hotel as the general manager of Pancetta, the hotel’s Italian restaurant. Prior to joining the Teaneck Marriott, Cushinan was the food and beverage outlets manager at the Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel in Alberta, Canada. Cushinan has also been recognized by the Ontario Hostelry Institute for being a member of the “Top 30 Under 30” in Canada’s hospitality industry.

“Hospitality is at the core of my everyday life,” said Cushinan. “I truly believe, both in and outside of work, that we have the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of those around us. I like to think that I don't have an occupation, more so I get to live my passion everyday through my restaurants and with my guests.”

In addition, later this month, the hotel will welcome Starbucks to the property with the opening of the first Teaneck location of the popular coffee chain. The 900-square-foot, full service store will be located near the Marriott’s Grand Ballroom entrance and accessible to the main lobby. Visitors to this new coffeehouse location will enjoy a full menu, including sandwiches, salads, pastries and snacks to go, along with the brand’s hot or iced coffees/teas, specialty drinks and retail merchandise. Patrons can access the store from inside the hotel or via an exterior parking lot entrance. Seasonal outdoor seating will be available.

Teaneck Starbucks’ hours of operation will be 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Friday, and 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday.

Lastly, a comprehensive multimillion dollar renovation recently was completed to the hotel’s 353 oversized guest rooms. The renovation included new furniture, bathroom fixtures, flooring, increased electrical outlets and USB placement, and luxurious showers.

An extensive renovation also transformed the hotel’s lobby, ballrooms, restaurants and 26,500 square feet of meeting space. The Marriott at Glenpointe also celebrated in 2015 the opening of the M Club Lounge, the only M Club in New Jersey. Located in the hotel’s lobby, it is a place to “work, recharge, connect and relax” for Marriott Gold and Platinum Elite Rewards members, as well as guests who choose to add M Club Lounge access to their reservation.
