Description
This location, opened in 1998, was the first in the now ubiquitous W hotel chain. The sprawling, feng shuiainspired lobby (featuring a stone floor, a wall covered in seeds and grass, and a cascading waterfall) is lovely, but be prepared for your room to be tiny. On the bright side though, all 688 rooms are stocked with Bliss bath products and the hotel recently renovated to feature a Bliss spa on-site. Steer clear of the ahipa Rande Gerber hotel bar, Whiskey Blue, which offers overpriced drinks served by underdressed girls to outer-borough clientele.
