Bryant Park Hotel, New York

Bryant Park Hotel, New York

I love the contrast of the black brick against the gold decoration and embellishments.

Originaly the American Radiator Building, this Art Deco building was designed in 1924 by architect Raymond Hood and now serves as the Bryant Park Hotel.

    It is a hotel Sonia so you could get to know it better however I haven't asked how much it is top stay there and I suspect the old adage "if you need to ask the price, you can't afford it" may apply. It is a lovely building.

    This is a wonderful skyscraper that borders the park. It always stands out happily amongst it's fellow deco neighbors and the more bland 60's and 70's high rises adjacent. It employs lovely neo-gothic touches as well making it a unique blend of both gothic and deco.

    I love the view from Bryant Park across to the hotel. Block out the other buildings and you can transport yourself back to another time.
