EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the bustling heart of Midtown Manhattan in the 1940s, where the Hotel Century stood proudly at the intersection of 16th Street and 6th Avenue. Sandwiched between the iconic Radio City Music Hall and Times Square, this high-rise building offered travelers a modern and convenient stay with its 350 rooms, each equipped with a private bath and shower. The Hotel Century was a beacon of American hospitality and progress, rising above the cityscape with its sleek lines and distinctive design. The image captures the essence of New York City in the mid-20th century, with the American flag proudly displayed atop the building, a symbol of national pride and unity. The bustling streets below are filled with activity, as pedestrians move about their day, making their way to work, shopping, or simply taking in the sights and sounds of the city. The Hotel Century was more than just a place to rest your head; it was a hub of activity, with a restaurant and bar on site, providing guests with delicious meals and refreshing beverages. The hotel's prime location put guests in the thick of things, with easy access to the city's many attractions, making it an ideal destination for both business and leisure travelers. As you gaze at this vintage photograph, you can almost hear the honking of taxis, the chatter of passersby, and the rhythmic pulse of the city that never sleeps. The Hotel Century may no longer stand, but its legacy lives on, a testament to a bygone era of American history and the indomitable spirit of New York City.
