New York City is home to some of
the most legendary hotels in the world. Highly touted for their service, luxury
and elegance, many of them also have a rich history that adds to the experience
of staying there.
Here are a handful of top
Manhattan hotels that boast as much substance as style.
1# The Algonquin
Prices have definitely increased
since The Algonquin opened in 1902 with a nightly rate of two dollars but,
surprisingly, so has the hotel’s mystique.
For a decade, starting in the
summer of 1919, influential writers including Dorothy Parker, Harpo Marx and
George S. Kaufman met over lunch at the hotel every day to discuss their work.
