Algonquin Hotel is a famous historic hotel in Midtown Manhattan, New York City. Built in 1902, this 174-room hotel designed by architect Goldwin Starrett is best known for hosting famous people from the literary and theatrical circles.

The Rose Room at the Algonquin Hotel was where famous literary figures such as Alexander Woollcott, Dorothy Parker, Franklin P. Adams, Robert Benchley and Harold Ross met for their luncheon club known as the Round Table. Ross was the founding editor of New Yorker. His office had a back door that leads to the hotel.

About this website



Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
