Description


Location. The W New York, located in New York, N.Y., offers a nature-inspired oasis within the intense pace of Midtown Manhattan. This trendsetting hotel, the first W Hotel in the world, stands one block from Park Avenue and three blocks from Fifth Avenue, Rockefeller Center and St. Patrick's Cathedral.
Hotel Features. The spacious lobby features a fireplace glowing with pillar candles. A serene waterfall and a menu that includes organic selections set the tone at Heartbeat restaurant. Candlelit atmosphere and soft leather sofas invite relaxation at Whiskey Blue, known for its cocktails. Oasis Bar adjoins the lobby living room and maintains late-night hours. A fourth-floor fitness center provides elliptical trainers, stair machines and treadmills. The two-story Bliss49 Spa features manicure-pedicure stations with personal headsets, flat-screen televisions and DVD players. Locker-room workout rewards include wine, beer, cheese and brownies. The Spa also contains aromatic steam rooms, saunas and private massage and skin-care rooms.

Guestrooms. The 18-story W New York offers 688 guestrooms decorated in earth tones with leaf motifs and hand-painted fabrics. Custom bedding features pillowtop mattresses, feather beds, 400-thread count linens and goose-down comforters and pillows. The popular Munchie boxes may contain umbrellas, CDs and Diane von Furstenberg makeup kits. Rooms offer CD players and DVD players. Bathrooms contain terry/piqué bathrobes, pedestal sinks and a six-item Bliss toiletry kits.

Expert Tip. Let's say you want to replace your bath water with steaming hot chocolate. Or perhaps you need a helicopter to pick up your wedding dress at the couture shop because cab transport just won't do. The hotel's Whatever/Whenever policy has satisfied requests such as these, and may honor your heart's desire too.

Not Impressed

Bad HVAC system, couldn't get temperature right. Lighting in room inadequate; too dark. Kind of cheesy how everything had a price (tag) on it.

At the W New York for the first time ...

And found it to be over-hyped. Yes, it has a swanky lobby and service is sharp, but I was not pleased with what you get when you arrive in your room. I know it is New York, and I've done my share of affordable and small rooms in Manhattan, but this is not what I expected at the W. Next time I'll stay again at one of my usual designer hotels in the city, giving the W a miss.

Very good hotel in great location!

Very modern, very "designy" hotel in great location for walking around. Rooms are tiny but very well decorated and maintained. Great lobby bar.

Not a bad stay.

I was skeptical about going to this hotel, after reading some negative reviews. But I had a great stay. The room was clean. The lobby was very classy and nice. The only negative was the air. It was very hot in the lobby and the room. I tried to change the temperature, but it was set at only one temperature... 75-degrees.

Small rooms, but otherwise excellent

Subway is just outside the hotel, so you can skip a cab most of the time.

Loved my stay

If you're into the lounge scene - the hotel has a popular night lounge in the lobby. Party and go up to your room!

Trendy, clean and comfortable at at a decent price.

Rooms on Lexington Ave will be loud. We had a high floor, therefore, OK. Good location for Mid-Town attractions and Theatre district. Not so good if you want to spend your time in SoHo or Greenwich. Overall a great hotel, at a decent price.

Rundown and bad service

Room was rundown and needed lots of maintenance -- unlike any other W we've stayed in. We checked in and left our baggage with the bellhop, then came back later and no one was around to get it. We then called down from our room to have it brought up, and then no one followed through. I had to go down again, and again no one was there, so we waited another 15 minutes or so and finally the bellhop arrived and said no one had told him anything about bringing it up. Really shoddy service.

Excellent Hotel and Excellent Location

Try The View Restaurant at the Marriot Marquis in Times Square. A 360 degree revolving restaurant that gives you a panoramic view of Manhatten while you dine. Set Menu price but book in advance.
