Search Hotels with smoking rooms in Long Island City

"I chose The New Yorker Hotel not for convenience, but out of respect—for history, for place, for legacy. Location matters, but legacy matters more. This building has both. The first impression is immediate: the 1929 Art Deco lobby—grand, geometric, disciplined. It speaks quietly, but with authority. The front desk mirrors that tone: fast, professional, efficient. No excess. Purpose achieved. We visited Nikola Tesla’s former rooms, marked by plaques noting he spent the final ten years of his life here. Standing there, you feel the weight of ideas conceived far ahead of their time—created in solitude above a city charged with ambition. The hotel functions like a well-designed system: Tick Tock Diner—open 24 hours, constant and reliable. Butcher & Banker—a restrained, precise steakhouse below. Trattoria off the lobby—a space for pause and conversation. Nearly a century old, the hotel remains clean, well staffed, and thoughtfully maintained. It doesn’t disguise its age; it honors it. No waste. No noise. Just structure and continuity. This isn’t merely a place to sleep. It’s a place where ideas once lived—and still hum beneath the surface. Like alternating current, its brilliance lies not in volume, but in permanence. For those drawn to history, architecture, efficiency, and quiet greatness, The New Yorker Hotel remains exactly what it was meant to be."
