The Godfather Wiki

The Chateau Leive was a hotel in Midtown Manhattan run by Gurn Bluntstone and protected by the Corleone family.

After he had proven himself loyal to Don Vito Corleone, associate Aldo Trapani was given a room on the second floor of the hotel by consigliere Tom Hagen, who said that the Don was disappointed that he could not make it.

Aldo and his girlfriend Frankie Malone lived here until 1950. Following Trapani's attacks on the Tattaglia family, Bruno Tattaglia ordered his and Frankie's murders in the Chateau Leive. Though Bruno's assassins failed to kill Aldo, they did manage to kidnap his girlfriend, taking her to the St. Michael Archangel church in Brooklyn, where Bruno personally killed Frankie. With Sonny Corleone's help, Aldo was able to make Bruno pay for his actions, throwing him into the furnace at Tito Morelli's.

History:[]

Gurn is a good man, and the safehouse is an excellent location, being equidistant from Little Italy and Hell's Kitchen. This is useful as a base once you're awarded a room here.
