The hotel is within walking distance of anything guests want: Saks Fifth Avenue and St. Patrick's Cathedral, three blocks; NBC Studios and Radio City Music Hall, five blocks; and Bloomingdale's, Carnegie Hall, Central Park, Empire State Building, Macy's Herald Square, Madison Square Garden and Museum of Modern Art, all within one mile.
The hotel was designed carefully with inspiration taken from nature, such as a waterfall and "tree trunk" tables in the public areas. The lobby lounge is a popular spot for drinks, while the bar, Whiskey Blue, is a hot spot for locals and guests. Whiskey Blue was created by nightlife connoisseur Rande Gerber as the quintessential NYC bar experience with flowing Cosmopolitans and Velvet Ropes. Heartbeat Restaurant features fresh, natural ingredients for tantalizingly tasty dishes.
The W also provides a well-equipped fitness facility and spa, which features Japanese lulur body treatments. The hotel also features "whatever/whenever service," laundry/valet and dry-cleaning services, and concierges.
Modestly sized guest rooms continue the nature- inspired theme with earth tones. Amenities include fine linens, down pillows, comforters, plush bathrobes and Aveda botanical bath products. Other conveniences include CD players, VCRs and 27-inch TVs with Internet access, and two phones. Guests can borrow from a complimentary library of CDs and videos. A particularly unique feature of the W New York Hotel is its in-room massage service and 24-hour room service.
Elle, a United Kingdom fashion magazine, was right: "Tranquil and modern... a hip haven, complete with creature comforts." A contemporary experience in a full- service hotel awaits the W's guests. |
