My Review of the W Hotel New York City (Christmas Holiday)

December 26, 2016 by Laurie Deppa Leave a Comment

Check-in at W New York City

It was an easy taxi ride ($11) from Penn Station to the W Hotel on Lexington Avenue in New York City.  The hotel is very centrally located to Central Park, Times Square, Radio City and many other attractions.  I am visiting with my husband and 5-year old daughter.   I booked a Fantastic Suite on the Starwood website – at a special pre-paid SPG rate.  It was a little expensive but every hotel is expensive during the week of Christmas in NYC.

We arrived at 1 and despite a 3pm check-in we were allowed to check-in.  This property did not have an SPG preferred check-in line so we had to wait. That was disappointing because expedited check-in is one of best benefits of hotel status.  We were offered a late check- out so that was helpful.

Relaxing by the fire at the W New York City

My daughter enjoyed the fireplace in the cool lobby.  There is a lobby bar and restaurant where you can grab a bite or just relax after a day in the city.

Bathroom at W New York

Our room is situated on the 6th floor – in a mostly quiet corner. The room reminds me of one we stayed in at the Aloft at Arundel Mills. It is fairly spacious (especially for NYC) Suite with a small queen bedroom (who needs room to sleep?), fairly spacious ensuite bathroom and a nice size living room/office. The decor is modern and hip. There’s a large sofa bed perfect for kids or another couple, as well as a decent size flat screen TV, free bottled water for SPG members, dual thermostats, snacks for purchase and a nice desk.

Fantastic Suite (Living Room) at W New York

The W New York is a nice place to stay, whether it’s for a family getaway, romantic trip or on business.  It has a little something for everyone.  Don’t forget – Starwood and Mariott Hotels have merged so you get more options and benefits now.
