Fantastic Urban Hotels For Every Type of Traveler

The Algonquin Hotel
New York, NY

A long-standing and incredibly-classic NYC hotel with a striking aesthetic, The Algonquin Hotel has long been a favorite of those in literary circles. From 1919-1929 it played host to the Algonquin Round Table, a group of New York City-based artists and thinkers so famous that John F. Kennedy once said he grew up dreaming of being a member. Although The Round Table no longer meets, their illustrious spirit lives on in the hotel, which now offers a different sort of amenity: a hotel cat, Hamlet, named after former resident John Barrymore's most iconic role.
