So You Wanna Check In? Unveiling the Mystery of the Continental Hotel's NYC Abode
Ah, the Continental Hotel. Haven for assassins, haven for headshots (metaphorical, of course), and haven for a concierge with a penchant for fine suits and even finer Belgian Malinois. But for us mere mortals, a burning question lingers: where in the concrete jungle is this haven of hitmen hiding?
The Facade: A Flatiron Farewell (Kind Of)
The films unveil a sleek, art deco building that screams "don't mess with the guests." Turns out, that beautiful beast is actually 1 Wall Street Court, also known as the Beaver Building (although let's be real, "Beaver Building" doesn't exactly evoke images of assassins in crisp suits). This architectural gem, located in the heart of the Financial District, boasts a unique, flatiron-ish shape that makes it instantly recognizable.
Tip: Pause if your attention drifts.
Fun Fact: The building itself is actually a residential building! Guess those assassins gotta get their beauty sleep somewhere, right?
But Wait, There's More! (Because Hollywood Rarely Gets It All Right)
Reminder: Reading twice often makes things clearer.
While 1 Wall Street Court provided the glorious exterior, the Continental's opulent lobby scenes were filmed elsewhere. For those fancy foyer shots, they jetted over to 25 Broadway, a stunning Italian Renaissance masterpiece that once served as the waiting room for the Cunard Line (think posh pre-cruise jitters).
