What did anyone buy at a hotel liquidation sale anyway? I popped in Thursday and Friday, the final two days, eager to grab a lamp, maybe. A night at the three-star establishment would cost you about $229, neither the least nor most expensive stay in New York City that you could muster.įor the past two months, the Wellington has held a slow liquidation sale, handing off the hotel’s myriad furniture and other goods to anyone who comes in off the street with any interest.

As New York magazine classified it in 2010, Extell "is emblematic of a new type of New York real estate firm that specializes in developing ultraluxury buildings that are akin to gated communities in the sky, where buyers with millions to spend can satisfy nearly any desire without ever stepping outside." In the way that these types of buildings have become interchangeably commonplace, Midtown hotels like the Wellington were also once a dime a dozen: early 20th century properties with non-distinct features, ornate carpeting, big beds, mahogany duped furniture. A few months ago, it was revealed that developer Gary Bartnett’s Extell Development Company had purchased the property. Midtown Manhattan’s century-plus old Wellington Hotel shuttered in December of 2021 during the height of the pandemic, it had been used as housing for those without. But the desks and what I could charitably identify as "the worst of the lamps" remained. Even a box labeled "luggage holders" sat empty. The beds were all but gone, the headboards too.
