Right next to Grand Central sits a century-old hotel owned by Pakistan. 🇵🇰 Pakistan International Airlines began leasing the Roosevelt Hotel in 1979 and eventually acquired it in 2000. Since then, the building has operated as a hotel, become one of Pakistan’s most valuable overseas assets, and even served as New York City’s main arrival center for asylum seekers. Its history reveals how deeply the stories of Pakistan and New York are intertwined, all behind a façade most people would simply call American. #pakistan #newyork #america #hotel
