Editorial Review for W New York - Union Square – by Gayot.com

The Scene
The W chain has done it again, bringing that nouveau-Hollywood style to New York in its fourth city property. This 270-room place is in a prime hot spot, where the city's international businesses and cutting-edge technology thrive. W's signature living room (a.k.a. the lobby) features 16-foot arched windows overlooking Union Square and topiary walls filled with lush plants. The front desk is on a grass lawn with granite stepping stones.

The Details
In rooms you'll find all the usual W luxuries: dreamy beds with 350-count linens and goose-down duvets, Bliss bath products, CD/DVD players with music and movie libraries, and work stations with high-speed data port connectivity. Chef Todd English brings the hotel his famed wood-oven Olives restaurant, which he made a player first in Boston and then at the Bellagio Las Vegas. The basement serves as the cozy Underbar.

The Extras

W Hotels are notoriously pet-friendly ($100 one-time cleaning fee and $25 a day), and this location offers a comfy bed, bowls, treats, a toy, and even a special in-room menu just for pets. They'll even arrange for someone to walk Fido.

Olives & Bar

07/27/2007 Posted by maylee88

Not having visited the bar, which is the extension of Olives, for over a year, I was back recently. Previously, a trendy kind of crowd that was fun for people watching, it seems to have seriously deteriorated. In fact, the people are rude "young-uns" who will grab your seats, if you don't watch it like a hawk. And my friends and I even were harassed by a "bridges and tunnel" like crowd who thought we took too much space on the sofa. We paid our check and informed the management, but they seemed relatively unwillingly (or afraid?) to do anything. Perhaps we shouldn't have paid our check. Definitely unpleasant for drinks now and shockingly uncouth scene for an extension of Todd English's Olives.
