Ask to be as high as possible to avoid the chattering scene in the lobby and the traffic that buzzes through the Theater District well into the night.
Fodor's "Inside, the nature-inspired decor is modern through and through, with typical W brand touches like a sleek, sceney lobby lounge (complete with falling water display and open fireplace)." Full review
