Harry and Leona Helmsley opened the Harley of New York on February 18, 1981, in an Emery Roth and Sons tower at 212 East 42nd Street, and the name was theirs: Harry plus Leona. Mayor Ed Koch came to the inaugural luncheon, which an accidental fire cut short, emptying the hotel and sending 23 people for smoke inhalation treatment. Host Hotels reopened the former New York Helmsley as a Westin on October 1, 2012, after a $75 million renovation, just east of Grand Central and beside the Daily News Building.
