The New Yorker Hotel

The New Yorker Hotel is an Art Deco hotel at 481 Eighth Avenue that opened in 1930 and became a prominent Midtown Manhattan landmark. Inventor Nikola Tesla lived his final years at the hotel and died in Room 3327 on January 7, 1943. After periods of closure and reuse in the late 20th century, the building returned to hotel use and remains a notable historic property in the Penn Station area.
