New York City’s last-standing — and most notorious — migrant hotel will soon stop housing illegal border crossers, The Post has learned.
The once-four-star Row NYC hotel on Eighth Avenue in Midtown was repurposed in October 2022, so its 1,331 rooms could be used as a shelter while the Big Apple dealt with the crippling migrant crisis, but Mayor Eric Adams confirmed the city’s $5.13 million-a-month contract with the hotel won’t be renewed in April.
The deal has allowed the hotel — which is owned by Boston-based real estate titan Rockpoint Group — to already rake in more than $170 million.

Since then, it’s been magnet for stabbings and other crimes, with rowdy Tren de Aragau-linked gangbangers among its tenants, including one 25-year-old Venezuelan migrant who allegedly broke into a Manhattan prosecutor’s apartment, robbed her at gunpoint and pleasured himself in front of her.
Other thugs staying there also attacked cops on numerous occasions, including a July 2024 incident where one officer was bit and other had a moped hurled at them.
Workers there have also complained the hotel has become a wild “free-for-all” of sex, drugs and violence after the city began housing migrants there.
