Boasting 1,015 rooms, The Roosevelt opened in 1924 and still stands stately on Madison Avenue at 45th St. transporting guests to old New York with a neo-classical lobby, while capturing the modern-day electric current that the “city that never sleeps” is known for. Named for President Theodore Roosevelt, the midtown masterpiece attracted the crème de la crème, from aristocrats and artists to celebrities and socialites. In the modern day, visitors and locals alike bask in the hustle and bustle and at once understand why politicos, corporate high rollers, celebrities and filmmakers alike are so attracted to this historic entity. Harkening back to the hotel heritage, the most famous moments in history include:

• Big Band great Guy Lombardo began his cherished New Year’s Eve tradition of broadcasting“Auld Lang Syne” over American radio airwaves from Roosevelt Grill
• Gov. Thomas Dewey erroneously announced from his election night headquarters at The Roosevelt that he defeated Harry S. Truman during the dubious 1948 presidential campaign
• Hotel namesake, President Theodore Roosevelt, inspired the creation of one of the most beloved toys in the world, the Teddy Bear, after he refused to shoot a helpless cub during a highly publicized hunting trip
• Historically linked with Grand Central Station, white-gloved porters from The Roosevelt whisked guests through a private underground passageway to the hotel
• The Roosevelt became the first metropolitan hotel in the Golden Era to boast TVs in all guestrooms, a wellness health center, hospital complete with an operating room, children’s program and a kennel for pets
• Known for its glitz and glam through the decades, the hotel has been the backdrop for many movies and TV shows, including “Mad Men,” “Man on a Ledge,” “Wall Street,”“Men in Black 3,” “The Dictator,” “Presumed Innocent,” “Malcolm X,” “Maid in Manhattan,” “1408” and “Boiler Room”
