Algonquin Hotel Round Table ghost lore

The Algonquin Hotel at 59 West 44th Street, famed for the Algonquin Round Table, is frequently cited in stories of hauntings connected to its early 20th-century literary regulars. Staff and guests have reported objects moving, unexplained noises, and periodic sightings that some attribute to former patrons such as Dorothy Parker. These reports appear in travel writing, hotel histories, and local media as part of the hotel's cultural lore. The hotel and commentators treat these stories as anecdotal and not scientifically proven.
