A Grand Dame of Madison Avenue since 1924, the fully renovated building spans over a full city block on Madison Avenue across from Grand Central Station.

The Roosevelt Hotel has been seen in several major motion pictures, including "The Boiler Room," "Wall Street," "Quiz Show," "Presumed Innocent," "Malcolm X," "Monday Night Mayhem," "French Connection" and "Maid in Manhattan," starring Jennifer Lopez
