New York City's Oldest Hotels

Back to Article

Cosmopolitan Hotel: The Cosmopolitan Hotel, the oldest surviving hotel in New York, was built in 1845. Although it doesn’t have the starry historical trappings of fellow grand old hotels, it started out serving the railroad traveler when a railroad was nearby. Over the decades, it has served a business class, and the budget traveler. These days, it is described in guidebooks as an inexpensive but clean historic hotel.
