The Half Moon Hotel in Coney Island, Brooklyn, New York, was a 225-foot-tall, 14-story hotel that opened on May 5, 1927, on the Riegelmann Boardwalk at West 29th Street. The Half Moon was built to help Coney Island compete with the beach resort Atlantic City, New Jersey. The hotel was designed by the architectural firm of George B. Post and Sons and built by the Cauldwell-Wingate Co. The name "Half Moon" refers to the name of explorer Henry Hudson's ship, which anchored off Gravesend Bay in Brooklyn (the location of Coney Island), while searching for a short cut to Asia.

  • El Half Moon Hotel en Coney Island, Brooklyn, Nueva York, era un hotel de 14 pisos y 69 metros de alto que abrió el 5 de mayo de 1927 en el en la calle 29 Oeste. El Half Moon fue construido para ayudar a Coney Island competir con el resort de playa Atlantic City, Nueva Jersey. El hotel fue diseñado por la firma arquitectónica de George B. Post and Sons y construido por Cauldwell-Wingate Co. Es más conocido como la ubicación donde Abe Reles, informante del FBI cuyo testimonio permitió el arresto de varios miembros de Murder, Inc., saltó, cayó o fue empujado el 12 de noviembre de 1941, desde el cuarto 623 donde se encontraba en custodia protectiva de la Policía de Nueva York unas horas antes de que testificara contra Albert Anastasia. La muerte de Reles mostró el alcance que el crimen organizado había alcanzado dentro del departamento de policía - estaba custodiado por seis detectives. Hubo poca duda sobre que, en realidad, Reles fue defenestrado.​ El nombre "Half Moon" hace referencia al nombre del barco del explorador Henry Hudson, que ancló en Gravesend Bay en Brooklyn (la ubicación de Coney Island), mientras buscaba un atajo a Asia. Durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, el hotel fue operado por la Armada de los Estados Unidos y se hizo conocido como el "U. S. Naval Special Hospital Sea Gate, NY", un hospital de convalecientes. En los años 1950, se convirtió en una casa para ancianos llamada la Metropolitan Jewish Geriatric Center. Ellos se mudaron a otro edificio y este fue demolido en 1995. Hoy se encuentra en esa ubicación el Seagate Rehabilitation and Nursing Center. ​ (es)
  • The Half Moon Hotel in Coney Island, Brooklyn, New York, was a 225-foot-tall, 14-story hotel that opened on May 5, 1927, on the Riegelmann Boardwalk at West 29th Street. The Half Moon was built to help Coney Island compete with the beach resort Atlantic City, New Jersey. The hotel was designed by the architectural firm of George B. Post and Sons and built by the Cauldwell-Wingate Co. It is best known as the location where Abe Reles, informant for the FBI who brought down numerous members of Murder, Inc., either jumped, fell or was pushed to his death on November 12, 1941, from room 623, where he was in protective custody of the New York City Police Department, a few hours before he was scheduled to testify against Albert Anastasia. Reles's death signified the reach that organized crime had into the police department – he was guarded by six police detectives. There was little doubt that Reles was defenestrated. The name "Half Moon" refers to the name of explorer Henry Hudson's ship, which anchored off Gravesend Bay in Brooklyn (the location of Coney Island), while searching for a short cut to Asia. During World War 2, the hotel was operated by the U.S. Navy and became known as the "U. S. Naval Special Hospital Sea Gate, NY", a convalescent hospital. In the 1950s, it became a senior citizens' home called the Metropolitan Jewish Geriatric Center. They moved to another building and it was demolished in 1995. Today the Seagate Rehabilitation and Nursing Center is on the site. (en)
