Williams Club

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Williams Club is a club for alumni of the Williams College. The Williams Club was founded in 1913, by Williams Alumni in New York City as a place to socialise on Madison Avenue. In 1921, the club moved to its current location to 24 East 39th Street in Manhattan. In 1988, the Williams Club made a full scale-renovation.

It is open to the paying public as a hotel and restaurant, and operates as a meeting space for Williams alumni living in and visiting the city. It is also the headquarters for the Williams@NY program, accommodating Williams college students and the director of the program, Professor Robert Jackall.

The Williams Club is centrally located in midtown Manhattan near Grand Central Terminal, the Empire State Building and within a 5 minute walk to Times Square, at 24 East 39th Street. It offers hotel service, award winning dining and a home-away-from-home in New York City.
