Sherry Netherland Hotel
5th Avenue @ 59th Street
Architect: Schultze and Weaver
Date Constructed: 1927
Constructed during the height of the Roaring Twenties across from the Plaza Hotel, the Sherry Netherland was one of the first skyscraper hotels. It was advertised as “more than just a place to live—a new way of living!” and paved the way for high–rise luxury apartments in Manhattan.
