The Algonquin Hotel
New York City, USA.
This famous old hotel is something of a national treasure, first opening its doors over a century ago in 1902 and never looking back. Having had millions of dollars spent on a recent historical restoration, what H.L. Mencken once described as “the most comfortable hotel in America” continues to welcome guests to midtown Manhattan.
Today, it offers in the region of 170 guest rooms, with dining options available in the Oak Room and The Blue Bar.
The list of famous figures to have called The Algonquin home-from-home has something of a literary and artistic flavour: Booth Tarkington, Douglas Fairbanks Sr., John Barrymore, and Simone de Beauvoir to name but a few.
An architectural icon of old New York it most certainly is.
