Belmont Hotel (New York City)

The Belmont Hotel, constructed between 1904 and 1908, was a notable skyscraper-like hotel located at the intersection of Park Avenue and 42nd Street in Midtown Manhattan. Standing at 308 feet, it held the title of the tallest hotel in the world at the time of its completion.

This historical hotel represents an important era in New York City's architectural and hospitality development.
