With this much history, our building will inspire you.
If our walls could talk, we'd love to hear them tell a story or two about Cuban bandleader Xavier Cugat and his wife, singer-actress Abbe Lane, who lived in the penthouse and owned a nightclub where talent like Benny Goodman performed. (image by neja_pan)
See how Paulina's 19 years of working with us has helped transform our hotel into a home away from home for every guest who walks through our doors.
If our walls could talk, we’d love to hear their stories, particularly this one about Harry Houdini: in 1926, the famous escape artist was lowered to the bottom of our pool in an airtight case, emerging 90 minutes later in a display of his world-renowned abilities!
Painter Georgia O'Keeffe and photographer Alfred Stieglitz lived in the hotel from the 1920's through the 1930's, as it provided a beautiful vantage point to view the rest of the city. Without our beautiful building, we would be missing a great piece of American artistic legacy.
We keep our service top-notch by having a team that cares about our guests, like our doorman Mike.

Our history goes above and beyond. Originally named the Shelton Hotel in 1924, critics agreed that our 35-story facade and unusual setback design inspired future skyscrapers to come!
History fills our four walls. Once standing as the tallest hotel in the world in 1924, it was constructed by architect Arthur Loomis Harmon to lean slightly, making it sturdier. Stand at street level and you'll see for yourself!
