4* Algonquin
 

Description / Location

Designated a Historic Hotel of America by the National Trust of Historic Preservation, the Algonquin continues to attract writers, artists, musicians, and media figures as it did during Prohibition. In that era, a group of regulars, drawn by free popovers and celery, formed the now-legendary Algonquin Round Table to gossip and trade barbs. The ambience, monitored in the Edwardian-decor lobby by Matilda, the resident Birman cat, seems undisturbed from that era. The Oak Room, where singers such as Harry Connick Jr., Diana Krall, Andrea Marcovicci, and Michael Feinstein first attained stardom, is a celebrated New York cabaret. The Blue Bar lights oil lamps for patrons in blue-leather booths. Although the Edwardian Lobby Lounge evokes an earlier era, complimentary laptop computers are available on request, and complimentary wireless Internet access is available in hotel public spaces. On the same block as the hotel, the New York Yacht Club, a whimsical creation dating from 1900, displays carved stone sterns of 16th-century Dutch galleons in its bay windows.

Accommodations

The Algonquin offers 174 guestrooms in a 12-story building dating from 1902. Refurbished in 2004, rooms feature signature Algonquin Beds with pillowtop mattresses, 350-thread-count linens, down comforters, multiple pillows, and hand-knit throws. Bathrooms contain pedestal sinks, Gilchrist & Soames English toiletries, bathrobes, and either deep soaking tubs or stall showers without tubs.
