The Hotel.

[ November 22, 2023, 18:44 ] Vitaly: In the very center of New York, among the glass jungle, you can find a luxurious beaux-arts building. It can be recognized by the openwork wrought-iron balconies and the elegant front door with monograms and the letters “S.R». This is the Hotel, known not only for its excellent service, but also for its rich, albeit tragic, history. The construction of the hotel began at the very beginning of the XX century, and already in 1904 opened its doors to the first guests. At that time, it was not only the tallest building in New York (19 floors), but also one of the most elegant. The New York Times even called the hotel a “skyscraper-palace“. In short, it was a new point of attraction for the wealthiest and most influential people in America. Over the century-long history of the Hotel, much has changed in it, but the aesthetics and unique attention to guests have been preserved to this day. The chain has grown all over the world over these 120 years, and in each of the 60 hotels in different countries you will find a rich interior, first-class service and details that bring homage to John Astor. For example, in a hotel in Moscow, the main staircase is an exact replica of the stairs on the Titanic.
