Says So, you're a literate history junkie. Who do you want
to see? Robert Benchley? George S Kaufman? Ring Lardner? Alexander
Woollcott? Ah, how about James Thurber or Dorothy Parker? Well, they
aren't around anymore, but that doesn't mean that the aura of the
'20's Martini set doesn't still pervade the air of this historic hostelry.
If you come to town for a long weekend of theater, a stay here will
thrust you back a few years. The folks at the Algonquin Hotel did a lovely
job when they renovated the place in 1998, keeping right in with the
spirit of the old hostelry. They peeled back here, polished there,
exposed period details all over. This is all wood, all marble, all
comfortable sofas in sumptuous fabrics. Have a pre-theater  drink
in the Blue Bar then stroll up Broadway to see a show. Afterwards,
meander back and enjoy a late supper and some of the best NYC
cabaret entertainment in the Oak Room
The Algonquin's rooms are very comfortably
appointed in a charming '20s style that would be very familiar to
members of the Round Table and, sorry to say, some of the
furnishings might have been around at that time. A bit worn here, a
bit threadbare there, though not enough, I think, to affect your
overall stay. Everything is clean and comfy. The standard -- they
call them "deluxe" -- rooms are, as most NYC hotel rooms
from this era, not overly spacious; "cozy" is an apt
description. And, as we often stress, you're not supposed to be
hanging out in your room, this is New York, get out and enjoy it
What sets the Algonquin apart from
many hotels in the same price range is its overall level of service.
Whether you walk through the door to find the bar or cabaret, enjoy
a cup of coffee in the lobby, or stop in to ask one of the much too
often heard questions (Where do I find the cat?), the staff is
always professional, courteous and friendly. This is not a "big
box" chain hotel where you pay the basically the same rates for
efficient, perfunctory service. It's smaller and delivers service on
a much more personal level
The Algonquin is as much a tourist attraction as
it is a hotel, so expect throngs of people in the public areas.
Besides being a premier destination near the Theater District and
Times Square, the Algonquin is the perfect jumping off spot for
doing all of the sights and attractions in Midtown and is very near
subway and bus connections to all other parts of the City
And be sure to say "Hi" to
Matilda the cat
