Loc:bg25 The seven-story hotel’s road to hospitality began in 1885 with its name to honor and promote an anticipated visit by the French artist Frédéric-Auguste Bartholdi, sculptor of the Statue of Liberty. The arm with Lady Liberty's torch was on display in nearby Madison Square Park to raise funds for her completion.More of a home to athletes, Hotel Bartholdi visitors often included an eclectic group of high-profile sportsmen such as champion cyclist Teddy Hale, baseball league umpire Tim Hurst and pugilists Chappie Moran, Kid McCoy and fellow fighter Bob Fitzsimmons, who also made headlines when he reportedly “caned a waiter” after chasing the hotel employee with a stick for intentionally slamming the door to a room where the boxer’s sick child was asleep. Fitzsimmons was also known to let his pet lion cub roam the property.The Flatiron’s first-rate hotel district was beginning to show signs of a changing business climate. And with escalating legal and financial issues, the Hotel Bartholdi shut its doors in 1912.
