They could have John Wick stay there...

The Continental, the fictional hotel where John Wick stays, is Delmonico's downtown.

Edit - it's actually another building used for exterior shots, although Delmonico's was used for some interior shots.

Ah. I always thought it was the Flatiron.

I didn't realize the Flatiron Building was vacant and apparently in shambles. This guy bought it for 190 mil but from the article it requires another 100 mil to be renovated.

I worked in that building about 10 years ago and old copper pipes running water were directly above server racks. The corner offices facing the park were nice, but everything else was significantly worse than any other building I’ve worked in because of age, low ceilings, etc. I would guess 100 mil is a low estimate.
