We've seen countless hotels draw upon New York's jazz legacy for decorative inspiration, but none capture the old-time essence of jazz like the Harlem Flophouse.
Sunlight peaks through the front window into the first floor parlor, where you might be greeted by the Flophouse's resident felines, Calliope and Thelonius. The decorative fireplaces are currently out of commission, but they still radiate charm.
The spacious bedrooms, with their refurbished antique details, could be used as sets in a period film. They receive generous light from windows with street and garden views. The four poster beds look fantastic against the dark hardwood floors. Exposed brick bathrooms on each floor are outfitted with ceramic tubs, and the newly tiled floors are particularly attractive.
What makes the Flophouse so fabulous are the finely crafted touches throughout the building: Italian lamps, restored ceilings, and vintage furnishings. Proprietor René Calvo put a lot of love into the building, preserving its historical character. However, he's also added some new twists to the décor, such as a ceiling lamp imported from Vietnam.
Located just north of Central Park and surrounded by jazz clubs, this Harlem hotel also benefits from proximity to downtown express lines.
Note: Laundry and kitchen facilities are available for parties renting the entire property.
