History[]

It is a luxury hotel located in Midtown. Originally located in Southport, it was famous for hosting glamorous balls attended by movie stars, business moguls, and politicians. It burned to the ground in 1942, and was later rebuilt as a million-dollar development.

In Room Service, Vito Scaletta and Joe are ordered to assassinate Alberto Clemente at a mob summit by planting a bomb under the table. Clemente survives, having been in the bathroom when the bomb went off, and tries to escape. Their getaway driver Marty is shot and killed in the underground parking garage.

The hotel has 22 floors, a large underground parking lot, and a conference room on the 18th floor. In the basement is the laundry room where Vito and Joe masqueraded as hotel maintenance staff.

Trivia[]

The building is based on the Lever House skyscraper in New York City.
In the elevator of the hotel there is no button for the 13th floor, referring to people's suspicions of the unlucky number. This would mean that the hotel actually has 21 floors instead of 22, as what is numbered the 14th floor is actually the 13th.
According to the Frankie Potts files, Henry Tomasino owns a room at the hotel.
From the roof you can see various buildings in the city, including the Midtown Construction Site owned by Frank Vinci and the West Side Mall.
The piano is a "Tinkler & Songs" of 1894 and the song on the score is "Fairest Lord Jesus".
