Hotel Vendome, New York

The 9-story Hotel Vendome was located at 1448 Broadway, southeast corner of West 41st Street. The hotel opened in December 1882. The proprietor was Louis L. Todd (1842–1922), the same proprietor of the Hotel Marlborough, also on Broadway, between 36th Street and 37th Street. Both hotels were advertised as being built with fire proof structures. It accepted both permanent and transient guests. Before April 1907, the hotel was renamed Hotel Albany and before March 1913, it became Hotel Continental. Today, the site is occupied by the 42-story 1450 Broadway.
