Hotel Discounts for Struggling Authors & Actors @ The Algonquin Hotel

In these economic times everyone seems to be a starving artist. The Algonquin Hotel-- where famous scribes at the Round Table were inspired to create  the New Yorker and Oak Room cabaret acts launched careers (including Harry Connick Jr. and Diana Krall) --is offering an economically-friendly package for struggling authors and actors alike.

The Algonquin has introduced the Writers Block package for writers suffering from “block,” whether creative or financial. From poet to playwright, novice to novelist, literary beings need only show proof of their written work in-progress or published manuscript to take advantage of the “WRITERS BLOCK” special rate of 25% off the best available rate on a two-night minimum stay, available throughout 2009. To Book This Package Call 866-406-5341

The legendary Algonquin Round Table was established in 1919 where famous literary scions such as Dorothy Parker, Robert Benchley, Harold Ross, and Robert Sherwood lunched daily for over 10 years.  Literary guests who are seeking inspiration and creative vibes will find solace with the cozy, oak-paneled lobby and the hallways showered with classic New Yorker cartoons.  

Additionally, members of any entertainment union (Writers Guild, Screen Actors Guild, Directors Guild of America, Actor’s Equity, etc.) receive an automatic 20% discount on drinks at The Blue Bar or the lobby when they present their union card. The “Entertainment Unions Recession Cocktail Special” at The Algonquin Hotel is applicable on all drink menu items.
