Belmont Plaza Hotel

Belmont Plaza Hotel was a hotel in New York City at 49th Street and 541-555 Lexington Avenue, across the street from the Waldorf Astoria.

It was purchased by real estate developer and hotelier Alfred Kaskel in the fall of 1945. The Glass Hat Club at the Belmont was a popular supper club, where Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis were performing when they met in August 1944.

In August 1964, the land on which the hotel was situated had been sold to the Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company for $4.4 million, but that they leased it back immediately to Kaskel and his Belplaza Corporation.
