242 W 123rd St
New York, NY 10027

The Harlem Flophouse, a historic Victorian townhouse converted into a lodging house in 1917, holds a unique place in New York City's rich tapestry of accommodations. Originally catering to those involved in the Great Northern Migration and the Harlem Renaissance, it offers a simple yet beautiful alternative to typical NYC hotels.

Since its renovation by owner Ren Calvo in 2000, the Flophouse has gained acclaim for its spacious and quiet rooms, free from modern distractions. Located just north of Central Park, it provides easy access to cultural landmarks, music venues, and an authentic Harlem experience.
