The Ansonia

The Ansonia, completed in 1904 on the Upper West Side and designed by Paul E. M. Duboy, was originally developed as a residential hotel and is noted for its Beaux-Arts façade and grand, ornately detailed public spaces. It was designated a New York City landmark in recognition of its architectural significance and its role in early 20th-century urban life. Over its history the Ansonia has housed apartments, hotel rooms, and notable residents, contributing to its cultural and historic reputation.
