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]
Singer Marion Harris died in this hotel on April 23, 1944, from a fire that started when she fell asleep while smoking in bed.[3]
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".[4]
In 2004, it became Hotel Chandler.[2]
