The Hotel Mayflower was a longtime Manhattan hotel overlooking Central Park. The original Mayflower-Plymouth opened in 1926 and later became known simply as the Hotel Mayflower. It occupied the prominent 15 Central Park West site until closing in 2004, when the property was sold for redevelopment.

The cover features a striking green-and-yellow sailing ship graphic, while the interior carries the hotel slogan:
“We don’t make the difference, we create it.”
Original matches remain present.
Based on the graphic style, branding and absence of later toll-free, fax or website information, this example likely dates to approximately the 1970s to early 1980s.
A nice piece of Central Park West, Manhattan hotel and New York City travel history from a hotel that disappeared before the redevelopment of the site into 15 Central Park West.
Please review photographs closely for age-related wear and condition.
