Hotel Le Marquis is a 14 floor hotel in New York City at 12 East 31st Street and 131 Madison Avenue.[1]

It was designed by the architect Albert Buchman and built in 1907.[2]

On November 21, 1955, the cartoonist and illustrator Gilbert Bundy killed himself in his apartment there, and "his body was found hanging by several neckties from a door hinge".[3]

In 2004, it became Hotel Chandler.[2]
