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.

This is not your average hotel. If you want a big bathroom, go to the Hampton Inn. But if you want real character and true comfort, this is your spot.

This is not your average hotel. If you want a big bathroom, go to the Hampton Inn. But if you want real character and true comfort, this is your spot. My husband and I have been staying here for about 35 years. It was our first hotel in New York and since then we have stayed in many others (The Lowell, The Mayfair Regent, The Westbury before its demise, The Benjamin, The Mandarin-Oriental, The Parker-Meridien, the Tuscany, the Plaza Athenee, and probably some I have forgotten. But we always find our way back to The Algonquin. The beds are comfortable, there are great reading lamps, plenty of plugs for laptops, etc. And that lobby. No wonder the Huffington Post listed it with their Coolest Places in the World to Read a Book. It's just a classic. Yes, it has some warts. Yes, it no longer offers room service (last I knew). But it's a wonderful value for a one-bedroom suite, in a great location, with a killer lobby. I'm in. Read less

We shall return! Read less

My wife and I stayed here for a weekend in town. The hotel is very convenient to the theater district and very quiet and comfortable. It is very historic and the lobby respects its history.

Loved the hotel, location and valet service. Great for a quick trip to big Apple. Staff was great, especially Nik in Engineering. Breakfast was delish and the nightcap in The Blue Bar a good time. Thanks to the Algonquin, Marriott, and to Nik!
