Tristan Schukraft’s Tryst Hospitality Acquires Iconic Fire Island Pines Commercial District & Opening Third Location of Luxury Hotel Brand with The Tryst Fire Island
2024年5月15日 - 10:03PM
Tech entrepreneur and hospitality visionary Tristan Schukraft is
expanding his portfolio of iconic LGBTQ+ venues with the
acquisition of 75% of the Fire Island Pines commercial
district, one of the most celebrated queer community hubs in the
United States. The purchase includes a variety of businesses
including the Pavilion nightclub, The Blue Whale, the Canteen, a
hotel and pool deck, retail shops, and docks, all considered the
heart of Fire Island’s vibrant gay community. The currently
non-operational hotel will be renovated and transformed
into The Tryst Fire Island, the third location for Tristan’s
budding luxury hotel brand for gay travelers.
Tristan Schukraft, CEO of Tryst Hospitality and
MISTR, is on a clear mission, “Fire Island Pines has been a queer
hub for multiple generations of the LGBT community. As businesses
and neighborhoods turn over, it’s important for the next generation
of gay entrepreneurs to invest in our communities, preserve our
culture and help them thrive as safe havens for the LGBT
community.”
Included in the acquisition are ten buildings
over two acres along 320 feet of Fire Island Pines’ main pedestrian
thoroughfare, including the only hotel zoned within the Pine’s
commercial district. All the businesses will operate as planned for
the 2024 season. This fall, Tryst Hospitality will invest in
thoughtful enhancements to these properties, focusing on elevating
the guest experience while maintaining the Fire Island Pines as a
world-class LGBTQ+ travel destination. The most significant
investment will include a major renovation to the hotel, which will
open as The Tryst Fire Island in time for the 2025
season.
Tryst Hospitality and its brands are part of
Tristan’s vision for a global portfolio of gay businesses that
champion diversity, luxury, and adventure. Tristan
founded MISTR, which provides free online PrEP across the
United States to more than 300,000 patients. He
launched Tryst Hotels, a luxury brand catering to the
discerning tastes of gay travelers, that are located the most
iconic LGBTQ+ travel destinations. Tryst Hotels encourage you to be
your best self, even on your worst behavior. The Tryst Puerto
Vallarta will open this Summer in the heart of the Zona Romántica
and begin taking reservations in the next few weeks. The Tryst San
Juan is open now but will begin extensive renovations later this
year. Fire Island will become the brand’s third location in
2025.
Tristan owns and operates The Abbey Food
& Bar and The Chapel in West Hollywood, the iconic gay
nightlife venue, twice named the best Gay Bar in the World,
frequented by A-List talent and neighborhood regulars alike, and
named the top nightlife drop off and pick up point in the world for
both Uber and Lyft. This fall, Tristan will re-open a newly
renovated Circo, a well-known LGBTQ+ nightlife venue in San
Juan, walking distance to The Tryst San Juan. In the coming months,
Tristan will announce more acquisitions as he expands his company
and truly embraces the moniker “the CEO of everything
gay.” For
