Midtown Manhattan presents us with a remarkably varied collection of glamorous hotels. Built to serve visitors as well as long-term residents, architectural historian Matt Postal leads a walking tour of some of New York City’s most memorable examples, including storied structures by Schultze & Weaver, who specialized in this distinctive building type in the first half of the 20th century, as well as trend-setting designs by architects Arthur Harmon, Morris Lapidus, and I. M. Pei.
