Casual elegance/ highly recommended.......

the Algonquin is just plain, flat out, a great place to stay in nyc.
casual elegance, gracious service, good location,nostalgic history,(incl. a fully self-esteeemed resident house cat) make it hard to beat.
yes, the rooms are smallish, but very well thought out and nicely appointed.
if you want to spend time lounging in your room, reserve a suite there.
our daughters stayed in the Dorothy Parker suite, and thought it was divine.
quite frankly, we can't think of a better place to stay in nyc.
the equation for the Algonquin is simple.......perfect casual elegance, all wrapped up in a compact package.
