Hotel Manhattan, former hotel in Manhattan, New York
Hotel Manhattan is a hotel in Midtown West, surrounded by office buildings, shops, and cafes near famous attractions. The lobby has been recently refreshed with gray walls, modern chandeliers, and black leather sofas, while rooms range from simple to recently renovated, with some feeling worn and in need of updates.
The original Hotel Manhattan was built in the late 1800s when many grand hotels were appearing in New York, and at over 250 feet tall it was one of the world's tallest hotels at that time. The building was renamed in 1957, and in 1958 received a large rooftop sign, but in the early 1960s the historic structure was demolished to make way for a new office building.
The location is very convenient, with subway access and taxi services that doormen can help arrange to explore the whole city. A fitness center on the fifth floor and a business center with free Wi-Fi and printing services are available for guests who want to stay active or work.
The 1958 rooftop sign was 31 feet wide and 12 feet deep, helping people identify the hotel from a distance at night when lit up. The original lobby and dining rooms with high ceilings and chandeliers made a grand impression on arriving guests from a bygone era.
