The Iroquois Hotel received recognition as a luxury hotel when it was recently voted the #6 NYC Hotel by Travel + Leisure World’s Best Awards 2018.

As a luxury destination, the Iroquois offers high-end accommodations, including 114 guest rooms and 9 spacious suites.

The hotel is home to Triomphe Restaurant & Lounge, a French restaurant, as well as Lantern’s Keep, a premier NYC bar.

The hotel’s location is ideal: located in the heart of Midtown, Manhattan, there’s always plenty to do. Times Square and Bryant Park and within walking distance, and a variety of holiday exhibits and shows make the Iroquois the perfect winter destination.

Did you know that the Iroquois Hotel has an amazing history?

First built in 1900, the Iroquois Hotel and apartment building was designed by the famous architect, Harry B. Mulliken. The hotel was recognized for its elegance, as described in The Hotel Gazette in 1936,

“”All through the dreary years of depression The Iroquois has gone on its tranquil way, never allowed to deteriorate, kept in the pink of condition, and always with a good house count of people who appreciate a quiet, refined, well-kept hotel.”

The hotel was also used as a residence, including for several celebrities. Actor James Dean lived at the hotel for two years in the 1950s, as did the actress Leecy R. Woods.

In the late 1990s the Iroquois Hotel underwent a 13-million-dollar renovation. The size of rooms was changed, a fitness center was added, and the lobby was completely refurbished. The bar and small restaurant were combined to form a larger restaurant.

The Iroquois Hotel is now universally recognized as a luxurious NY Hotel.
