Official Hotel Information
Located in the center of Midtown Manhattan, the Algonquin is an elegant place to stay. It's a fantastic location to stay for sightseeing as it's within walking distance of the Broadway Theaters, shopping on Fifth and Madison Avenues, the Empire State Building, the Museum of Modern Art, Rockefeller Center, Radio City Music Hall and Times Square. The rooms were all recently refurbished and all are comfortable and well equipped with all the essentials, plus some great extras in the bathrooms. The lobby is a must do place to read, work or have tea, and the hotel bar serves great cocktails and nice pub food. The more formal restaurant in the hotel is the Algonquin Supper Club, which is an experience in itself and serves high-quality food together with a cabaret performance, which is great change to most hotel restaurants!! Definately worth a look if you're staying in the hotel for the evening, but be prepared to dress smartly! The staff are friendly and welcoming and help to make this a great place to stay.

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 Supper Club 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 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. Guests must be at least 18 years old to check in at this property. Pets under 50 pounds are welcome at the Algonquin for no charge (a fee will apply if damage occurs).

I read a lot of good things about this hotel, so my expectations may have been a little too high. The management and employees are helpful and friendly. The location is excellent, and the lobby bar feels very comfortable. The food is also very go
I was a first time visitor in New York City so I was so excited to stay here knowing it was filled with NYC history. The Hotel is located in the Heart of Times Square. Walking distance to most things and suprisingly quiet! I stayed at the Algonquin
