Hotel Theresa, Historic hotel in Harlem, United States.

The 13-story Hotel Theresa features white terracotta facades and stands at 2082-2096 Adam Clayton Powell Jr. Boulevard between West 124th and 125th Streets.

German stockbroker Gustavus Sidenberg commissioned architects George and Edward Blum to construct this building, which opened its doors in 1913.

From 1940 onwards, the establishment served as a central meeting point for African American leaders, musicians, athletes, and international dignitaries.

The structure transformed into office spaces in 1967 and now operates under the name Theresa Towers for commercial and educational purposes.

In 1960, Fidel Castro rented 80 rooms during his United Nations visit, drawing international attention to this Harlem establishment.
