The Bowery House
The Bowery House is an historic hotel on the Bowery in the Nolita neighborhood of New York City established by Italian race car driver Alessandro Zampedri and American real estate entrepreneur Sanford Kunkel.
==History==
220 Bowery first opened its doors as The Prince Hotel in 1927. By the 1940s, in an era when the Bowery was known as New York City's "Skid Row," the hotel had been transformed to accommodate soldiers returning home from World War II. All of the floors were rebuilt with single room cabins, bunk rooms, and communal bathrooms to maximize occupancy and the hotel became more akin to a flophouse. While these rooms were meant to be temporary lodging, guests of The Prince Hotel could indulge in all of the vices that the neighborhood provided and many of its occupants stayed on for extended periods of time. It is these very residents that would later add the lore of the Bowery.
Since the 1990s the area has been reviving. The establishment of high-rise condominiums and the emergence of upscale businesses on the Bowery marks a new era for the ever-changing neighborhood. Part museum and part hotel, The Bowery House strives to preserve the rich history and integrity of the original structure while simultaneously providing chic accommodations for travelers from all over the world.
