“Best for early 20's”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed February 7, 2013

You have no business here if you are a bunch of thirty something women for a girls weekend. Rooms were small, and music felt throughout the night. Best part for someone like me was waking up early and walking around the neighborhood before anyone else woke up. The front desk is accommodating and friendly. Upon checkin and attempt to valet late night, I got yelled at for having my car in the hotel unloading zone. bc the valet was overwhelmed with clubgoers and cabs. Bottom line- this place is loads of fun if you are in your early 20s. Great location for the hottest clubs within walking distance. Its not for the older crowd.

Dear fivestarNewYork,

Thank you for taking the time to review your stay with us. We are sorry for your less than satisfactory time spent in the Meatpacking District. Due to the nightlife and restaurants surrounding our property, it often becomes raucous during the evenings and we apologize that the level of activity got out of hand for you. Next time you're considering a girls' weekend, we hope that you will check out our Park Avenue location, which is a bit quieter, spacious and slightly more "refined." If you choose to reconsider us for your next visit to NYC, please contact our community manager at digital@hotelgansevoort.com to ensure a stay that is above and beyond your expectations.

Sincerely,

@HotelGansevoort

“Amazing customer service, beautiful rooftop view!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 6, 2013

I stayed two nights at the Gansevoort in January 2013. I loved the loved the location and atmosphere of the lobby, my room, and the amazing rooftop bar and lounge. I was very impressed with the customer service staff during check in, with my room service order, as well as the great doormen! My favorite part about my room was waking up and simply flipping a switch next to the bed to open the window shades, letting in the light and amazing view!

“Sexy and modern - a must stay!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 4, 2013

Upon arrival at the Gansevoort we were immediately impressed. A welcoming staff at the door, a happening and beautiful lounge area, and a very helpful front desk staff. We were booked in a queen superior room and asked if it was possible to change to a king superior room. The young lady at the front desk checked the availability and made the switch.

The next day, I went shopping and and my husband went to Exhale Spa for a massage. He said the masseuse was amazing and that he would definitely recommend getting a massage.

The concierge was extremely helpful. They gave us many dinner suggestions in meatpacking and provided a few suggestions outside of the area. They offered to help us make reservations and provided us with the best way to get to our destination.

The room is modern and quite spacious. The bathrooms are beautiful and immaculate. Our room was always cleaned promptly. Our maid saw us come in on Super Bowl Sunday before the game with pizza and 10 minutes later came back with a bucket of ice for our drinks. A very nice touch that we didn't even ask for!

We didn't have the opportunity to spend time at the roof top patio, but we went up to take a look on the day we were leaving. What a beautiful view. Can't wait to come back in the summer and spend some time there!

There was so much to do in meatpacking. Step outside and within a few steps you can find restaurants with delicious food at Pastis, Spice Market, and Catch. The shopping is great too....Tory Burch, Christian Louboutin (men's and women's stores), Hugo Boss, Sephora, just to name a few.

When we checked out Jenny helped us arrange a ride to the airport and we let her know that we frequent New York a few times a year. She offered us a business card and let us know that we can contact her when we plan on coming back. With so many hotel options in New York City, I would say that the personalized service is one way that the Gansevoort is sure to be our NYC go to destination.

Overall a great experience. Thanks to the staff at the Gansevoort.

Dear Lisa,

We are thrilled that you and your husband enjoyed staying with us. We always strive to provide services that are tailored to your needs – the snacks on Sunday seemed only necessary while watching the big game! Hopefully on your next visit you’ll be able to experience our rooftop patio, where you can grab a cocktail, enjoy the NYC skyline view and take a dip in our heated pool (year round). Please don't hesitate to reach out to our community manager at Digital@GansevoortHotelGroup.com with any questions or concerns about future trips. Until then, we thank you again for sharing your experience with us and look forward to your return.

Sincerely,

@HotelGansevoort

“Loved it!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 2, 2013

I stayed here on business in one of the suites. The hotel could not have done more to help when guests, clients and interviewees arrived.
The hotel is 'alive' - the bars are cool and the roof top bar has a great music scene.
The modern and regenerated feel of the area lends itself to the style of the hotel. I can't fault it. Location is perfect for exploring the district with all the main bars and restaurants in easy walking distance...yes even in NYC.

“"THE BEST LOUNGE IN NYC PLUNGE ROOFTOP"”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 1, 2013

So I actually never stayed at this hotel but I always go to the Rooftop Lounge. This place is just amazing the music is always good, drinks are good and strong never weak. This place always has the best crowd, I even came one time on Gay night didn't know it was Gay night and I had the best time. I can't even say how many times I've been here because I go that much. It's just beautiful in the summer time especially in the day time you can see all of Meatpacking which is pretty sweet. There is nothing more that I can say amazing amazing drinks, food, fun music and an awesome crowd. I usually go with my boyfriend but it's for all types of people.
