Hotel St. George

rdf:langString Hotel St. George

rdf:langString Hotel St. George is a building in Brooklyn Heights, Brooklyn, New York City, which was once the city's largest hotel. The hotel is within the Brooklyn Heights Historic District. The hotel was originally created by Union Navy Captain William Tumbridge in 1885, and various constituent buildings were built through 1929. The building survived a large 1995 fire. The building is now being used as student housing for surrounding colleges, especially New York University, Pace University, St. Francis College, and the New York Law School. The building is open only to its student residents, and has several lounge areas and one communal kitchen to be shared with the resident occupants. Attached to the building on the Clark Street side is a four floor "Eastern Athletic" gym that is separately owned. It is located atop the New York City Subway's Clark Street station on the IRT Broadway–Seventh Avenue Line (2 and ​3 trains), one stop from Manhattan. The station's sole subway entrance continues to function inside the hotel itself, right before the main door leading to the former ballroom and guest check-in.
