Currently on hiatus, we plan to reopen in the near future. Since 1902, the Washington Square Hotel has been a haven for writers, artists, and musicians. We’re celebrating our rich history with a freewheeling monthly salon series, ‘Village Nights’, curated and hosted by Richard Barone, long time Villager and musician. Held in the Lounge, the setting is intimate, the way it used to be in the 60’s—without all the smoke. Stop by!
