The Kartrite Hotel & Indoor Waterpark is nearing completion in the Catskill Mountains in Upstate New York. The hotel is located next to a 100,000-sf casino and the Monster Golf Course.
The $180-million project will feature 324 guest rooms. Amenities include a bar, a candy store, a coffee shop, four restaurants, a tap room, a family entertainment center with an arcade and indoor ropes course, a conference center, and a spa.

Connected to the hotel is a four-season, two-acre indoor water park, designed by Aquatic Development Group. The indoor water park, which will become New York’s largest, includes a FlowRider surf attraction, a lazy river, a kids activity pool with basketball, and a multi-level play structure and slides. Deck space with cabanas, landscaping and vegetation, and a mezzanine that overlooks the waterpark with additional seating and a bar & grill restaurant will also be included.

A 60,000-sf Texlon transparent roofing system will cover the entire park and feature column-free construction. The barrel-shaped roof allows sunlight to enter the water park, which will be kept at a steady 84 degrees, year round.
