Lonely Planet review

The 319m (1048ft) Chrysler Building has been widely named as a favourite work of architecture by lay people and building aficionados alike - an art deco masterpiece designed by William Van Alen in 1930. It briefly reigned as the tallest structure in the world until being superseded by the Empire State Building a few months later.
