 After a $100 million conversion, this hotel—one of five Ws in the city—draws a chic, international, young crowd who enjoy the cutting-edge casual style. Guests lounge in the signature living room space on sofas and chairs in front of the fireplace or play chess on the tree-stump gaming tables. Organic touches expressive of feng shui's design philosophy are found in the kota stone flooring, schist counters and a variety of woods. The Garden Wall is a lobby collage of seedpods, leaves and dried grasses. A waterfall cascades down the glass window that separates the lobby from the restaurant. The 686 rooms and suites feature containers of growing wheatgrass and stenciled leaf motifs. They offer sumptuous beds with down comforters, pillows and chenille throws. Amenities include CD players, dual-line phones with cordless handsets and 27-inch TVs with Internet access. The hotel is home to Drew Nieporent's excellent Nuevo Latino restaurant, Heartbeat. Whiskey Blue—one of the many chic Randy Gerber-owned clubs—has found a loyal following of patrons who enjoy the hip and electric bar, cozy banquettes and sofas, and the music. The Away Spa Gym occupies 10,000 square-feet and offers exercise machines and classes including yoga, Zone, Spinning and Pilates. |
