Question

Fans identify the hotel featured in The Marine Biologist episode as the Algonquin Hotel in New York, which was dressed up as the fictional Dorian Hotel for the show.

Hi,

I've got quite the difficult trivia question. In episode S5 - E14 - The Marine Biologist, the Russian author is staying in a hotel in the city. When Jerry and Elaine go up to his room (with the taperecorder), you can get a glimpse of the outside of the hotel. Which hotel is this ?

Could you also e-mail the answer (as I have no newsgroup-access at work) to [email] (remove _nospam)

Thanks,

Jorn

Now when are you going to ask the "difficult" question?

Do you have the episode on tape ? I can't find the 'real' Dorian hotel, but I did find a hotel that looks just like the one used in the episode: The Algonquin

Could this be the one ?

Yes. Absolutely.

I checked the video of the episode and "The Dorian Hotel" is placed over the Marquee of the real Algonquin Hotel. Everything else in the picture is the same; the brick and stone work, the awnings, the three planters in the front, the number and placement of the windows, . . .

I think the photo used in the Seinfeld episode is an older one and there have been some cosmetic changes to the Algonquin since that photo was taken but the structures are exactely the same.

How the heck did you find it?

Did you have the end of your bed tucked or untucked?

Byron, I think it would be easier if you didn't tuck...
