The Dryden East Hotel was a well-known residential hotel in the Murray Hill neighborhood of Manhattan.
Address:
* 150 East 39th Street
* New York, NY 10016
Some background:
* The building was originally constructed in 1927–1928 as the Hotel Dryden, a 16-story hotel designed by architect Henry Ives Cobb Jr.
* During the early 1960s, the name changed from Hotel Dryden to Dryden East Hotel, which is why vintage key fobs and hotel keys often read “Dryden East Hotel, New York, N.Y. 10016.”
* Like many Manhattan residential hotels, it transitioned away from transient hotel use. Today the building is known simply as Dryden East and operates as a residential apartment building rather than a hotel.
The current property is Dryden East, a pre-war rental apartment building at the same address with a doorman and approximately 135 apartments.
If you have a Dryden East Hotel key fob or room key, it’s generally from:
* Hotel Dryden: approximately 1928–early 1960s
* Dryden East Hotel: approximately early 1960s through the late 20th century, before conversion to apartments.
