The Algonquin
Due to the famous collection of witty writers who frequented this hotel decades and decades ago, known as the Algonquin Round Table, this is one of the most famous boarding establishments in history. Located in the Theater District, the Algonquin is an excellent choice for golfers hoping to fit in a Broadway show. If you are a golf writer you can get the Writer's Discount merely by showing your published work. Amenities include an extensive fitness center, a finely equipped business center, and maid service twice a day. Look for the freshly stocked candy jars inside your room, plush tubs for a warm bath to soothe your tired muscles, and the choice of literary themes if you really want to take advantage of the Algonquin's unique history. Make a quick visit to the lounge and see if some of the witty repartee doesn't rub off on you.
