The hotel

One of New York’s prized historic buildings, The Algonquin first opened its doors to the public on November 22, 1902. Attracting the glitterati with its luxury accommodation and Time Square location, it’s been popular ever since and not just with humans! Yes, you read that right – several cats have also called The Algonquin home – each named Hamlet or Matilda according to gender and afforded the same hospitality as everyone else. Guest rooms are second to none in the city, effortlessly combining old world elegance with cutting edge amenities and stunning city views. There’s a fitness centre for the enthusiast or simply order a cocktail from the iconic Blue Bar, one of the most desirable meeting places in NYC and indulge in a bit of people watching instead. The Round Table Restaurant is another sought-after destination, once the haunt of literary and theatrical notables it is now one of the places to see and be seen.

The Algonquin is a charming historic hotel just a short walk from Times Square. The rooms are on the small side but this is New York so that’s not unusual or a surprise. We loved the staff - special shout out to Chuck who served our breakfast a couple of mornings, he’s a real treasure. The lobby bar is a fun spot to people watch in the evening.… Read more

First, you will be charged $30 per day per room in addition to all other fees so be prepared for that. The front desk staff is rude. The property is tiny and we have yet to find any redeeming qualities about this hotel. Book the Casablanca Hotel down the street- it is much nicer and the staff puts this one to shame.

We checked in early our room was ready. Tell us about the resort fee and how it work so we used it for drinks and food which were very expensive though. The bar and restaurant we're nice and comfortable. We met Hamlet the first night we seen him every day , very sweet cat he is. Our room was very nice but small bed was comfortable air condition work very well.bathroom was small but it's an old hotel so we understood that when we booked. All the workers there from the bar, the restaurant ,front desk, bellman terrific and helpful. Read less

The ambiance and hospitality at the historic Algonquin Hotel was a great wind-down after seeing the amazing Bryan Cranston star in Network at the Belasco Theatre. I had time to unwind, journal, and enjoy a bowl of their delicious French Onion Soup. Perfectly made, served with warmth and welcome rarely seen in busy Times Square. A must after seeing… Read more
