The Gotham Hotel

The Gotham Hotel on 46th Street, which opened in 2010, has a historic bond with New York City that rivals that of the city's oldest hotels. The Gotham Book Mart Hotel was built on the site of the landmark bookstore's final location after it closed after 85 years as a fixture of the New York City literary scene. The Gotham Book Mart was an independent family-owned bookstore that specialized in rare and underground/banned books, titles by emerging writers, and works by well-known authors and novelists. The Gotham Book Mart gained a reputation for its famous guests, unique service, and signage as a haven for literary luminaries and cultural icons (as well as the site where the James Joyce Society was founded in 1947).

The Gotham Hotel is not your typical historic hotel in New York City. The Gotham Hotel is a wholly modern establishment imbued with the values and service that made the old Gotham Book Mart a New York City icon, with its sleek, slender frame and uniquely tapered facade towering over 26 stories. The Gotham Hotel, like its namesake, is independent and family-owned, with a focus on service and true boutique hospitality. The Gotham Hotel rooms and suites include titles from the old Gotham Book Mart as a nod to its predecessor. Pick up a book in your room and leaf through its pages to get a glimpse of the Gotham story.
