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.

Cats can be like that, particularly those, like Hamlet, of obviously regal bearing. Read less

Very nice small hotel on 44th. Great location, very good service, very small but nice rooms. Only complaint is they charged you $30 per day fee that can be offset at the bar or restaurant. No complaints until yet get to the bar and the mixed drink is $21. Also, they were not able to get my safe to work and left it as is. Otherwise, very… Read more

If you are looking for a classic place to stay with history, you need to stay at the Algonquin. By the way it is a Marriott too! For 10 plus years we have been staying at the Algonquin every time we are in New York City! Fantastic location, friendly staff, great bar and comfortable beds!

The Algonquin hotel is a classic, wonderful style and location. What keeps us coming back is the amazing staff from the doorman, front desk and service personnel. The bar/restaurant is fantastic worth having the destination charge!

Good hotel. Clean. Bellmen are terrific with cabs and cars. Typical of the area - small rooms, but it goes with the territory. A very annoying coffee set up in the morning. As we all stand around waiting our turn to get a simple cup of coffee the thought occurs about this nice hotel is a bit pricier than others in the area and they others might allow the traveler to get a simple courtesy cup of coffee without the hassle. Lobby is nice. The legendary literary roundtable is worth stopping in for a drink - though they have now stopped making the truly legendary Dorothy Parker drink - is basil really that hard to find?? Still - to be in the bar where F Scott Fitzgerald and Groucho Marx once tippled is a great feeling. If with guests new to the area, we may well stop in again for a drink, but we almost certainly have spent our last evening sleeping there. Read less
