While I didn't stay at the hotel, I had a couple of interactions with the staff. They were generally helpful, and spoke well. But one particular interaction left a really bad taste in my mouth. There was a bartender who clearly looked like she didn't want to interact with the customer, to the point that she intentionally chose to look away, ignore a direct question, and basically force another member of staff to help out with a basic question. It was weird, awkward, and now I don't feel like entering the place ever again. Which is sad, cause I thought it'd be a great place to take my parents, and show them a view of the city. There could have been a racist undertone, but I chose to ignore it.

I have never stayed at this hotel but I recently did pay a visit. The best part? The observance deck is amazing! We got keys at the front desk so we could access the elevators and we went up to the 30th floor. You’ll find a small museum when you exit and then you can take the stairs up which will lead you to an exit where you can go outside and see a beautiful view of the city. It was a great place to take photos. We also made our way down to an area where we sat and ordered drinks. The main floor had a very cool fire place and live music too! Many things to do in just one building. The worst part? Parking is too hard to find and expensive so we ended up doing valet which was a little over $20 total. It is also more of a dark, fancy ambient so it won’t be everyone’s vibe. Drinks were also about $17-$20 each which may be too expensive for some but we were having a nice evening with a visiting friend so it was worth it for us.

It had poor service. And the bar in our room was empty. It didn't have the promised bathrobes. And no microwave anywhere in the facility. No pool or pool tables. But other than that lacking, it is bar far one of the best hotels we've ever stayed at..

This was a first ever visit to W brand for my fiancé and I. Previously I would always go for a different chain, but this time decided to give W a try! The experience was perfect right from the check-in. The receptionist, Nicole, was very sweet and accommodating. She upgraded us to a gorgeous corner suite on 26th floor with gorgeous views of the city - see pics! As ambassador members we got free continental breakfast delivered to the room every morning. The breakfast included two delicious pastries, fruit, a little bit of yogurt, orange juice and a pot of tea or coffee. Pretty good, not enough for 2 people, so we also added lobster Benedict to our order. It was nice to see Meredith in the morning as she brought in our delicious breakfast. I don’t know, there is some special magic to me in room service … :) The hotel has very hip bar on 27th floor and also a cute bar with a fireplace downstairs. Overall, great first experience with W! Looking forward to come back!

I'm pretty sure you are Daniel. that railing was high enough to keep tours of grade school children from falling off the edge. My favorite feature was the telescopes that were on all 4 sides of the deck, so you could try and locate familiar places near your home. It was a great view to a child.

So... can we just go to the observation deck without a hotel reservation? I can see this from the Kimoton hotel where i am staying and wonder if I can just visit.

You can go to their bar (speakeasy) on the 14th (i think) floor for free

How much is it

It's a luxury hotel so it will be pricey. You might find deals for their basic room around $100, but expect around $150. The top floors are suites. Price varies greatly. I'm guessing they start around $500 per night and go well over $1000. The suite I stayed in had a wet bar, small dining area, and living room. The bathroom was larger than some hotel rooms. That's a lot of space with a city view and upscale furnishings, which doesn't come cheap. They also have bell hops and valet parking. Expect to tip on top of the room prices.
