New York City’s Algonquin Hotel reopened last week after a $15 million renovation.
The hotel’s 181 guestrooms rooms were updated, including Italian tile flooring in bathrooms.
Each room has a so-called “picture-window” headboard that’s backlit and shows 1920s-era photographs from New York-based photographer Irving Underhill. The property, located on 44th Street between 5th and 6th avenues, had been shut down for renovations on Jan. 1.
The Algonquin opened in 1902, and became notable as a gathering place for writers and was immortalized by its famous Algonquin Round Table during the 1920s.
The hotel, which was designated a New York City landmark in 1987, joined Marriott International’s Autograph Collection in 2010.
