Famed NY locale to close for four-month update
New York’s fabled Algonquin hotel will close for four months starting Jan. 1 for a major renovation, USA Today reports. The hotel, which became a member of Marriott’s Autograph Collection last year, first opened in 1902 and is perhaps best known as the home to Dorothy Parker’s famous Round Table and birthplace of New Yorker magazine.
USA Today notes that word of the Algonquin’s pending renovation comes about four months after HEI Hotels and Resorts sold the hotel to a division of insurance giant MassMutual. HEI continues to manage the 174-key Algonquin, which last underwent an update led by designer Alexandra Champalimaud several years ago.
