The Algonquin Hotel Times Square, Autograph Collection

Nestled in Midtown Manhattan, The Algonquin Hotel Times Square, Autograph Collection sits in the heart of the best that New York City has to offer, at the crossroads of cultural and literary history. Designated a National Literary Landmark in 1996, the hotel has been a favorite haunt of literati and influential creatives such as Dorothy Parker, Helen Hayes, and the Barrymore family since first opening its doors in 1902. From 1919 to 1929, The Algonquin Hotel played host to the famed Round Table—a daily gathering of some of the time’s most prominent creative minds—whose conversations shifted the cultural landscape. Venerable writers like Gertrude Stein, Maya Angelou, and William Faulkner also followed in their footsteps, as did playwrights, composers, screen and stage actors, and more. Today, those staying or dining at The Algonquin Hotel Times Square, Autograph Collection can do the same.

Guests can even pay a visit to one of the hotel’s most famous and, indeed, furriest residents: The Algonquin’s lobby cat. With its convenient location and landmark setting, this storied hotel is as much a New York City icon as the soaring skyscrapers and other must-see sights that rest just a short stroll or subway ride away, making it an ideal stay for everyone from book lovers to first-time visitors.
