    W New York Midtown

    A short guide to Midtown

    Some of NYC’s best-known landmarks are north of 14th and south of 59th—or Midtown Manhattan. Here, couples kiss atop the Empire State Building. Grand Central Station’s opal-faced clock is a famed meeting spot. While fortunes are made on Wall Street, fortunes are spent at Fifth Avenue’s shops. Other highlights include Madison Square Garden, the United Nations, and the Garment and Diamond districts.

    "W Hotel was Wonderful!"  by K from London (originally Perth, Australia)

    This hotel was superb and I enjoyed my stay immensley! From the moment you walk in you can sense the luxury and extra style of the place. The W Hotel chain has looked beyond the traditional 5 star hotel model and gone for something more funky. You are greeted by enjoyable background music and there are treats on offer such as chocolates for extremely refreshing fruit water as you wait for the lift. You room has all the facilites you could wish for - giant plasma screen, ipod dock (internet connection - although i would have prefered a wireless connection) and luxury bath products from a nearby by spa! Delightful! The bed was amazingly comfortable and made and turned down each day - with a chocolate on the pillow! Apart from the hotel itself, the location was excellent for a tourist wanting to see the sihgts. Right in the centre of midtown - only a few avenues across from Sax on 5th Ave and the Rockefeller Centre with a subway / metro stop right nearby for any ventures up or down town. I could not have been more impressed with my choice of hotel!
