Built in 1906 by visionary real estate mogul John Jacob Astor IV, The Knickerbocker Hotel was among the first buildings to occupy Times Square, formerly Longacre Square. Astor discovered in 1901 that the original Knickerbocker Hotel location (the St. Cloud Hotel) would align with the New York City’s planned subway system, allowing access to the new railroad from the hotel basement. The original entrance to The Knickerbocker subway entrance can still be found tucked away on the end of the platform of Track 1 on the S shuttle between Grand Central and Times Square.

Within months of its opening, the stunning Beaux Arts landmark had become the center of life in New York and perpetual activity, including the world-famous New Year’s Eve Times Square Ball Drop. It’s rumored the dry martini was invented right here in the hotel. Visit our History page to learn more.
