Central Park Hotel. The Central Park Hotel was listed in an 1859 NYC directory. The owner of the hotel was Hermann Knubel.  The City of New York had acquired some of Hermann Knubel’s land for Central Park.  So Mr. Knubel had apparent advance knowledge and quickly put that knowledge to work.  Central Park was directly across from his hotel and the Broadway and Seventh Avenue train terminus was nearby. The Central Park Garden at 900 Seventh Avenue was opened next door to the hotel in May, 1868.
