American Radiator Building

The American Radiator Building is a historic building in Midtown Manhattan, New York, near Bryant Park. It was commissioned by the American Radiator Company and is generally associated with architect Raymond Hood and his office. Completed in 1924, the building is noted for its dark masonry, gold-colored ornamentation, and distinctive blend of Gothic-inspired decoration and early Art Deco skyscraper design. After later conversion and renovation, it operated as a hotel under the name Bryant Park Hotel. Because the term primarily identifies a building rather than a consumer brand, corporate brand, or hotel chain, its classification in this brand dataset remains uncertain.
