The Knickerbocker Hotel, Beaux-Arts hotel at Times Square, United States.

The Knickerbocker Hotel is a Beaux-Arts building located at the corner of West 42nd Street and Broadway with refined interior finishes. Its rooms feature high ceilings and marble bathrooms that reflect early 20th-century luxury standards.

The building was designed in 1906 by architect Bruce Price as a notable example of Beaux-Arts design. It was later recognized for its historic significance and added to both the National Register of Historic Places and New York City's landmark list.

The place has long served as a gathering spot for performers, artists, and business figures who found space for both work and social connection within its walls. This blend of creative and professional life remains woven into its identity today.

The hotel is within walking distance of multiple subway stations and easily accessible by public transportation. Its central location makes it convenient for reaching the Theater District and nearby attractions on foot.

The rooftop offers a direct view of the Times Square Ball and becomes a sought-after spot during New Year's Eve celebrations. This vantage point makes the roof one of the most coveted places for experiencing one of the world's largest year-end events.
