Concorde Hotel (Radisson Martinique on Broadway)

The Radisson Martinique on Broadway has been called the “Concorde Hotel” (after the Concorde airliner that made transatlantic flight between New York City and London/Paris) because many flight crews stay at the hotel. The nickname “Concorde Hotel” has been cited in print since at least 2010.
