The Harlem Flophouse

The Harlem Flophouse occupies a special place in the lengthy and varied history of hotels, guesthouses, and other accommodations in NYC. Musician Rene Calvo's Harlem inn has a dark wood decor, dramatic lighting, and soft jazz playing in the background, giving it a 1930s speakeasy ambiance rather than a modern B&B.

The light-filled rooms, which have the names of notable members of the Harlem Renaissance such as Chester Himes and Cozy Cole, include restored tin ceilings, an eccentric mix of secondhand furniture and antiques, as well as functional sinks housed in authentic antique cabinets.

Let's think about making The Harlem Flophouse your destination while making travel arrangements to New York City. It retains a sense of tranquility that cannot be found in other NYC hotels, such as those in downtown Manhattan, and is situated just north of Central Park. The hotel is within a short walk from important transit hubs. The Apollo Theater, Columbia University, several cafés and restaurants, parks, museums, art galleries, and music venues are all conveniently located in the area.
