Exploring The Abandoned McKittrick Hotel
on West 27th Street

Since I became a location scout, it’s been my dream to get into the old McKittrick Hotel at 530 West 27th Street.Built in 1939, the McKittrick Hotel is said to have been one of New York City’s finest, providing lavish accommodations on a far more intimate level than larger hotels like the Waldorf~Astoria or Plaza Hotel could manage. (...) For as long as I’ve known it, 530 West 27th Street has been padlocked and under scaffolding. When I learned about its past as a hotel as a year or two ago, I tried to get inside to see if anything still remained of the old McKittrick – but I couldn’t even find a phone number.
