Millie S.January 13, 2018Love this hotel. Convenient location. Good value. Rooms are lovely. Historically lovely Staff is especially friendly and knowledgeable of the area. I immediately felt at home and safe.
Marriott Gold Club members get free continental breakfast options. For a $10 upcharge any entree on the full menu. Sit at the famed round table and talk to Dorothy Parker!
Landmarks Preservation CommissionJuly 31, 2013This Beaux-Arts style hotel was built in 1902 by architect Goldwin Starrett and is famous for playing host to the Round Table. It was named a City landmark in 1987.
- Love this hotel! Gorgeous inside. Awesome service & clean room. Drinks at martini bar are expensive but very good, so treat yourself. Hotel cat is so cute!! :-) we are def coming back to Algonquin!
- Lesley OCGJune 28, 2016Spring for the kind bed and bigger room. Look for Matilda the house cat, she is a beautiful Ragdoll cat. Hotel seeped in tradition, awesome.
Jan MurdochMay 25, 2014Beautiful spot to enjoy appetizers and drinks before the theater or an after dinner drink. Friendly and welcoming staff!
Matthew AshJune 6, 2014Service is great here!!! Love the history oozing from every corner. Look at all the room doors. They all have something different look at and read.
Iain MacleodJune 4, 2014The Red Flame Diner right next door is excellent VFM & great for breakfast. Typical American Diner
HotelChatterJuly 8, 2010Excellent, excellent lobby. Head here for tea or for some of the best thick fries in the city. Ask for the wifi code at the desk & do a little work...and don't forget to pet Matilda, the lobby cat.
Trae FFebruary 22, 2015Cocktails and people watching are the reasons to stop by here. Great history to this place too. Check it out.
New York Guest Tourism ServicesOctober 5, 2010The lobby is the perfect place for a cocktail or cup of tea on a rainy day like today. Couches are comfortable, service is friendly. If you're lucky you can hang with Matilda, the cat in residence.
Excellent choice for a hotel. The old lux of Manhattan. Ask to be introduced to Matilda who hangs out in the lounge lobby! She has stories to tell!- Tamara HJune 11, 2012"The regulars met almost daily at the bar and included the likes of Dorothy Parker, George S. Kauffman, Robert Benchley, Heywood Broun and New Yorker mag founder Harold Ross." (via @ShelfAwareness)
Oh dear. I loved the hotel and it's staff. Terrific. But the street noise, and the fighting in the room next to us made our stay unbearable 😟- Young to PublishingSeptember 11, 2011Beginning in 1919, this Midtown hotel hosted Algonquin Round Table (or "Vicious Circle") meetings to exchange bon mot. Writers incl. Robert Benchley, Jane Grant, George S. Kaufman, and Dorothy Parker.
Steff HindSeptember 15, 2014The French martini was great, the bar is relaxed. There is a hotel cat that we are yet to spot
Amy HJuly 21, 2010Matilda is adorable! (: And the beds are so comfy. but the rooms are super quaint, meaning it's a squeeze- especially for the price. It's a very attractive place, however.- Iain MacleodJune 4, 2014If the free coffee at the station on 2nd floor is not for you, head to Gregory's right across the street for a far superior product.
HISTORYMarch 30, 2010Guests at the Algonquin Hotel claim to see ghostly members of The Round Table, a group that included writers such as Dorothy Parker, Robert Benchley, Franklin Pierce & Harpo Marx.
Literary ManhattanJuly 15, 2012You are now a part of history! See who else stayed at this historic hotel, and which author wrote his Nobel acceptance speech here. Read more
Great service, great rooms, excellent location, the best hotel in Times Square
Justin SchuckDecember 10, 2012You can't beat a hotel that has FREE wifi throughout and stocks their fabulous bathrooms with L'Occitane products.- Loved the hotel, but seriously folks, for $500 a night, put in some serious double glazing.
Larry AugustineFebruary 26, 2015Hanger steak was awesome but cocktails were insanely over priced. Small rooms but quaint and close to everything.
🏄Mike RichJune 30, 2012Nice midtown botique hotel...get a suite. not to much money but well worth it in the land of pod hotels
Sit in the lobby and order a drink as you people watch. It's got to be one of the most fascinating places to see tourists and New Yorkers alike.
Candace SelphAugust 10, 2014Rooms are small, but comfortable. Very close to Times Square. The Guinness tastes like they do not get many requests for it (flat), and the cocktails are way over priced ($22.00 for a cosmopolitan).
Laura M.July 10, 2011Booked a room here on hotwire and therefore didn't know what the hotel was until I paid. Awesome deal!
Erin FinneganJanuary 19, 2013Mediocre food and cocktails, above average dessert, but the super nice concierge will give you a tour if you ask. Not at all stuck up for such a classy establishment...
Alexis DavisJanuary 23, 2015I found the hotel cat! Rooms are tiny!! But I'm in Times Square so I shouldn't expect much
Ron WeekesMay 23, 2010If you want an old style hotel the way they used to be with a lobby and excellent service, this is the place to go.
The carpet in our room is sticky. Bring extra house slippers to walk around.
Nice hotel but the staff was bitchy and indifferent. Not worth the money. The bar however was great. Good time bartender
