$170 million Contract for "Migrant Hotel" In Manhattan Coming To An End

New York City’s last-standing migrant hotel, "Row H" will soon stop housing illegal border crossers, The New York Post has reported.

The once-four-star Row NYC hotel on Eighth Avenue in Midtown was repurposed in October 2022, so its 1,331 rooms could be used as a shelter while the Big Apple dealt with the crippling migrant crisis, but Mayor Eric Adams confirmed the city’s $5.13 million-a-month contract with the hotel won’t be renewed in April.

The deal has allowed the hotel — which is owned by Boston-based real estate titan Rockpoint Group — to already rake in more than $170 million.
