Description
A beautiful hotel with a great location, the Algonquin's history seems to overshadow its visual charm. Opened in 1902, the hotel lured many famous names under the management of Frank Case: Simone de Beauvoir, Gertrude Stein, John Barrymore, and William Faulkner (who wrote his Nobel Prize acceptance speech at the hotel), just to name a few. Additionally, literary greats gathered daily at lunch from 1919 to 1929 to trade barbs, ideas, and wits at the famous Algonquin Round Table. The hotel has been fully restored and also boasts one of the best cabaret venues in town, the Oak Room.
