The Algonquin
59 West 44th Street - 10036 New York
Location. The Algonquin Hotel stands on historic West 44th Street in the center of New York, N.Y. This Midtown Manhattan hotel is within four blocks of shopping, dining and entertainment on Broadway, Times Square and Fifth Avenue. Hotel Features. Since opening in 1902, the Algonquin Hotel has had major renovations, although the appeal and ambience of its history are beautifully preserved. The famed Round Table literary group from the 1920s often met in the hotel's main dining room and founded the New Yorker magazine, comprised of American literary writers and icons including Harpo Marx, Dorothy Parker and George S. Kaufman. The style of the "Roaring" 1920s echoes in the lobby, which boasts antique desks, sofas and chairs bathed in deep jewel tones, creating the perfect spot for reading, writing and conversation. The intimate Oak Room Cabaret offers continental cuisine and cabaret performances on certain nights, and Blue Bar, home of the $10,000 Martini, serves casual fare and cocktails. The fitness center offers cardiovascular equipment, free weights, towels, fresh fruit and water. Guestrooms. The Algonquin Hotel's 174 guestrooms feature flat screen televisions and complimentary wireless Internet access. Quotes from different writers are framed on each door. Suites are named after members of the Algonquin Times. Suites boast DVD players and flat screen televisions in the bedrooms. Bathrooms offer telephones, bathrobes and walk in closets. Expert Tip. In the 1930s, the owner of the Algonquin, Frank Case, took in a disheveled cat in search of a full belly and started a hotel tradition. The current resident cat, Matilda, oversees the hotel guests as they enter and leave the hotel from her small red cat bed in the entryway.

Lovely hotel and courteous service during my two night stay. My 80 year-old mother-in-law and I enjoyed our stay in NY and walked to Radio City Music Hall, Times Square, and famous shops on 5th Avenue.

The location was perfect and the staff went out of their way to assist us with information on ski packages, tours and shopping. The service was great! The complimentary breakfast was a real treat and a money saver. We met other guests from all over the United States and enjoyed visiting with them.

Clean, newly-renovated and they remember you. Reasonably priced place for a businessman to stay while in town, right around the corner from nightlife when you're done working.

One of a kind Ellis Island (by ferry from Battery Park, stopping at Liberty Island) takes up most of a day but provides a detailed insight into the immigrant origins of 40% of Americans. The subway and all Manhattan buses are $2 a ride, so the Metrocard for 7 days' unlimited travel at $25 saved us a lot.

The Algonquin has a wonderful location, just a couple blocks off Times Square. We were able to walk to a show on Broadway in just a few minutes.

The Algonquin, a New York classic. The Algonquin hotel feels like a New York classic despite a multimillion dollar renovation. Its no bargain, but for the money you get a small, exclusive experience. Great location on 44th near theater district, midtown and Times Square
