Grand Central’s birth was the result of a tragic accident. On January 8, 1902, a commuter train traveling from suburban Westchester County crashed into another train waiting in the station’s entrance tunnel killing 15 passengers. An inquiry revealed that the noxious clouds emanating from the steam engines had blinded it’s drivers thus resulting in the accident. Sensing the shift in the political winds the Vanderbilt family announced plans to construct a new state of the art station that would utilize electricity not steam. The station was completed in February 1, 1913. Today, it is one of the most visited tourist attractions garnering over 23 million visitors a year. #details

NEW YORKER BY LOTTE HOTELS

10/10 Excellent

"The room was clean, the staff was friendly, the breakfast was very good and fresh and not that expensive. "

Hotel Edison Times Square

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, friendly and helpful staff, Rum house was fabulous, other restaurant options on premises really good too! Great location in walking proximity to many key attractions but also tucked away from the hustle and bustle if looking for some quiet downtime. Rooms and bathrooms are smaller than what we were use too but I feel like most of NY hotels are. "
