The Scene – Enter through a glass-encased waterfall, and feel the chaos of the city drip away, as the elevator rises to the seventh-floor lobby. In the early evening, the bar is bustling with martini-sipping patrons in designer suits, and immense paper lanterns shed cinematic lighting on the scene. The svelte, black-clad concierge looks as though he's manning the entrance of a private party--a room reservation puts you on the guest list. – – The Details – The hotel's restaurant and bar draw so many local patrons and visitors that you won't have to leave the building to…

Stayed over at the W New York - Times Square this past weekend (St. Patrick's Day 2012). As expected from the W, everything was excellent. It's a great hotel but if any of you are looking to save some $$ then book it at SweetHotelDeals.us They usually have some pretty good deals on there!

Typical W Hotel

by SienaStar

I always give W Hotels good marks for hip decor. I've generally had good experiences at most of them. The one drawback I'd say that is a pretty serious one for the business traveler is that rooms are sexier rather than actually usefully or comfortably laid out. So lighting for instance is always an issue - there is usually not enough. Comfortable seating also is a problem - I like to work in a really good armchair. The bathroom at my NY W was so dark I could barely see a thing and was practically reduced to asking the room service guy if my makeup looked ok.

The other issue with the W Times Square is both a strength and a drawback. You are truly in the middle of NYC - which can be really cool. On the other hand, you are in the middle of all the tourists who come here also. And while I enjoy being a tourist, it can make rushing to business meetings a challenge. Still, I love NYC and love the W for its looks.

  • Pros: Convenient location
  • Cons: You are in middle of Times Square
