The 181-room Algonquin Hotel re-designed by Stonehill Taylor is one of the oldest operating hotels in New York City. Originally built in 1902 by architect Goldwin Starrett (whose architectural credits include famous flagship department stores like Lord & Taylor, Bloomingdale's, Saks Fifth Avenue, and Abraham & Straus), the New York icon complements its Midtown block’s other famous landmarks, like the New York Yacht Club and Harvard Club. Named as an ode to the Indigenous tribe that once lived in North America, The Algonquin’s exterior is detailed with neo-Renaissance terra-cotta motifs on its brick and limestone facade.
Stonehill Taylor oversaw the interior design and interior architecture of the Beaux-Arts style hotel, including the redesign of the hotel’s famed Blue Bar and Oak Room, the latter of which was the setting for what became known as ‘The Round Table.’ The Round Table was an exclusive daily lunch meeting at the hotel during the peak of the Roaring 20s, reserved for a group of distinguished writers, Broadway playwrights, poets, and musicians that jokingly called themselves ’The Vicious Circle.’ Run by the hotel’s manager-turned-owner Frank Case, the Round Table made the hotel a popular rendezvous spot before Broadway performances, and later solidified the hotel as a historical landmark in 1987.
