Knickerbocker Hotel: The Knickerbocker Hotel, built by the Astor family and completed in 1906, is a grand hotel in the Beaux-Arts style in Times Square. It initially operated as a hotel only until Prohibition, when it was converted into offices. One of its main tenants was Newsweek magazine. In the 2000s, the building’s new owner, the royal family of Dubai, announced it would restore the Knickerbocker to its glory as a luxury hotel.
