The W Union Square felt more like a true boutique hotel then a W. Depending on your perspective, this is either a great thing or a bad thing. The W brand kind of moderates the boutique hotel concept to make it more palatable to luxury travelers. True boutique hotels are edgy, somewhat rough around the edges, and often sacrifice luxury...

This sleek, trendy hotel is a treat! The rooms are very comfortable and so large for NYC. Amenities vary by room, and it's always a pleasant stay. The staff is friendly, helpful, and very responsive to any needs. They're so welcoming, and truly make you feel valued. The "living room" has a great vibe, and the easy access to Todd... More

My four daughters and I would be remiss if we didn't let the world know how welcoming, lovely and accommodating the W Union Square is during our frequent visits to NYC. Importantly, too, the value is - hands down - the best in the city. From the front desk and bell staffs to room service and housekeeping, the property's service... More

I was married in Manhattan and had our wedding block here. We also stayed two nights ourselves. The rooms are in excellent shape, but most importantly, they offered tremendous, personalized service at every step. Everything was easy and convivial for us and our guests -- rather unexpected for a corporate-chain hotel. I can't recommend this place enough.

I love the fact that the hotel is centrally located, walking distance to a lot of attractions. I have stayed in many W hotels and I have always been satisfied with their service. The only comment I would make on W Union Square is that the bathroom can be more contemporary as befit a W hotel and its design.

The W Union Square is what you would expect from a nice NYC hotel. The rooms are nice and comfortable, and the staff is courteous. It is quiet and calm, and there are many great restaurants nearby. It is right next to Union Square, and within easy reach of most of Manhattan.I really like staying here.

I have stayed at this hotel countless times and I always enjoy my stays here. The hotel is quirky as it has many rooms and a small lobby which means sometimes the front desk can be overloaded. That said, my service both check in and check out as well as special requests has always been great! Keep in mind that... More

Just stayed at the W Union square. it is a fantastic hotel where every staff member is committed to customer service. Two in particular, Keith who works the front door and Merly one of the bartenders were extremely helpful and made my stay much better. Thanks

My wife and I celebrated my birthday in NYC last week. We always stay at the W Union Square when in NYC. We love the hotel, the service, the great location, the rooms and the bar/restaurant. Eduardo Ruiz was so welcoming and made my birthday weekend even more special. Definitely stay here when in NYC!
