Algonquin - Property information

What to expect: The Algonquin's old-fashioned ambience still attracts notable stage, screen, and literary figures, as it has for many years. A careful restoration spruced up the century-old marble stairs, iron banisters, and sitting room/lobby, creating a classy setting that remains ideal for meeting friends over a quiet drink. Hallways have custom wallpaper featuring cartoons from The New Yorker magazine, which was born here.
• Amenity highlights: Courteous attention to guests means twice-daily housekeeping service and overnight shoe shine. Copies of The New Yorker are in every guestroom. Recent updates added high-speed Internet access and a fitness center. A former carriage house is now the Oak Room, an intimate cabaret, and the Round Table Room is a civilized retreat for dinner.
• Insider tip: West 44th Street resonates with history. In the 1920s, the Algonquin was home to the legendary Round Table that included writers Robert Benchley, George S. Kaufman, Dorothy Parker, and Alexander Wolcott. Landmark private clubs on the block include the Harvard Club, circa 1894, and the New York Yacht Club, a whimsical creation circa 1900, with the carved stone sterns of 16th-century Dutch galleons in its bay windows.
