Algonquin Hotel, Autograph Collection

The enchanted days of a glamorous, culturally ascendant New York echo from every corner. Music, theater and literary history resonate from the walls of this stylish hotel, much as a lovely afterglow. Exquisitely renovated in 2013, the lobby spaces still have the same grand style, but the rooms take a different turn with a slightly more whimsical and contemporary décor. Rooms can vary in size, but a deluxe queen offers good floor space. The hotel is still known for its food and beverage offerings: the famous Round Table restaurant and the lobby lounge are perfect spots to sip a cocktail and people watch, while the Blue Bar is a classic, upscale Manhattan cocktail lounge. In keeping with its literary tradition, this hotel hosts some appearances and readings from well-known authors. There is live jazz on some nights. Smoke free premises. 181 units. 12 stories, interior corridors. Accessibility (Call).
