History
Alexander Turney Stewart opened the first Garden City Hotel on 30 July 1874 as he developed Garden City on Long Island's Hempstead Plains. After a fire destroyed McKim, Mead & White's 1895 Dutch Colonial hotel, the firm designed a Georgian Revival successor that opened in 1901 and became the house of Vanderbilts and Pierpont Morgans. Charles Lindbergh reserved a room for 20 May 1927, the night before his New York-to-Paris flight, then slept at a friend's house nearby. The 1901 hotel was later demolished; the present fourth Garden City Hotel opened in 1983.
