Overview of Herald Towers at 50 West 34th Street

Formerly a hotel, it's nearly 700 large studio and one-bedroom apartments feature open layouts with ceiling heights of at least 9 feet, hardwood flooring, walk-in closets and in-unit climate control. Fully equipped kitchens come with a refrigerator, stove, and dishwasher, and both kitchens and baths have been renovated in many units.

Carter’s Review

"At the end of the 19th Century, many cities were inspired by the Beaux-Arts movement and the Colombian Exposition of 1893 in Chicago to create new and monumental civic environments. New York was no exception and Grand Central Terminal and Pennsylvania Station were two of the most important projects that helped transform midtown.

This 25-story building was erected as the McAlpin Hotel in 1913 and was very similar in style to the three "Terminal City" hotels, although it was designed by a different architect, F. M. Andrews."
