The iconic Algonquin Hotel Times Square, Autograph Collection, plays an important role in New York’s history. Since 1902, it has been in the center of Manhattan.
As legend tells it, a group known as “The Vicious Circle” used to patronize its “The Round Table” restaurant. Writers and artists such as Franklin Pierce Adams, Dorothy Parker, Edna Ferber, Marc Connelly, Robert Benchley, Harold J. Ross, Robert E. Sherwood, Alexander Woollcott, George S. Kaufman and Heywood Broun held a number of captivating critic circles in this place for ten years (1919-1929).
This four-star hotel establishment has accessible common areas for guests with reduced mobility. It also has a bar known for its delicious cocktails, a gym, a business center and seven conference rooms for events or meetings. In addition, it offers other services such as complimentary Internet access, private parking, valet parking, babysitting service, concierge or car rental.
