W New York-Union Square [New York City, NY]- Hotel Reviews

Opulent. Bohemian. And everywhere in between.

Bridging the gap between old and new, New York's famous landmark Guardian Life Building has undergone renovations and reemerged as the stylish W New York- Union Square in November 2000. The 1911 Guardian Life building - designed in the Beaux-Arts style - is a magnificent granite and limestone structure with all the exquisite details inherent in traditional European architecture. Designed by famed architect David Rockwell, W New York - Union Square combines the charm of this ethereal historic building with the contemporary W touch.

The beautiful park outside extends into our warm Living Room to welcome you. Our signature feather bed with goose down comforters and pillows beckons you. All our rooms are wired and ready to help you conquer the world. W New York - Union Square is all about service and amenities. Whatever you want. Whenever you want it.

Set at the northeast corner of Union Square Park, our 270 room, 16 deluxe suite property is the first hotel on Union Square - a neighborhood relished for its fine restaurants, bars, theaters, famous green market, and boutique shops. The perks at this luxury hotel also include Rande Gerber's UNDERBAR, and Todd English's signature restaurant, Olives.

Be a part of the cutting edge. Celebrate tradition.[less]

The location.
It was loud dark and dirty.

“Dark, loud and dirty. The rooms were pretty clean, the lobby was nasty and run down. The only thing going for this place was the location. If you do stay there, make sure to have a printout of the quoted price for your reservation - they try to raise your room rate when you check in. To the W management: 1) Turn on the lights. The dim hallways and lobby are really creepy. 2) Clean the lobby and put new rugs in the rooms. I felt like I was staying in the main train station of the capital of Goth Land. 3) Turn the blaring music down in the lobby. Not everyone likes thumping generic techno garbage at 7:30 in the morning. Oh, and if you're staying there make sure to get a drink at the bar. I just love $30 glasses of crap!I once got a last minute hotel room in Paris that cost $40. It was less run down and creepy than this place.”
