What Opera House Hotel actually is
The Opera House Hotel occupies the shell of the Bronx Opera House, a 1913 vaudeville theatre where the Marx Brothers, Harry Houdini and Sarah Bernhardt all performed. The conversion kept the lobby's original marble columns and ornamental plasterwork.
Sixty rooms sit behind the historic frontage on East 149th Street, and the hotel is one of very few in the South Bronx. Yankee Stadium is a short ride, Manhattan is roughly twenty minutes on the 2 or 5 train, and rates are among the lowest in the five boroughs.
