Opulent. Bohemian. And everywhere in between. Bridging the gap between old and new, New York's famous landmark Guardian Life Building has undergone renovations and reemerged as the stylish W New York - Union Square. The 1911 Guardian Life building - designed in the Beaux-Arts style - is a magnificent granite and limestone structure with all the exquisite details inherent in traditional European architecture. Designed by famed architect David Rockwell, W New York - Union Square combines the charm of this ethereal historic building with the contemporary W touch. But don't take our word for it - just refer to the 2003 Conde Nast Traveler's "Top 500 Hotels in the World" list. The beautiful park outside extends into our warm Living Room to welcome you. Our signature feather bed with goose down comforters and pillows beckons you. All our rooms are wired and ready to help you conquer the world. W New York - Union Square is all about service and amenities. Whatever you want. Whenever you want it. Set at the northeast corner of Union Square Park, our 270-room, 16 deluxe suite property is the first hotel on Union Square - a neighborhood relished for its fine restaurants, bars, theaters, famous green market, and boutique shops. The perks at this luxury hotel also include Rande Gerber's UNDERBAR, and Todd English's signature restaurant, Olives. Be a part of the cutting edge. Celebrate tradition.

Stayed one night on business. Room was available for early check-in, allowing me extra time to prepare for my meeting. Staff was very professional and there was very little wait for service. Overall great experience.

Great for Foodies & Non-typical Tourists

Hotel was stylish and room was very sizeable - especially for New York. Its location is awesome. Close to the great restaurants of the village and SoHo. Subway stop in Union Square allows for easy transit around the city.

Use the subway or the free Acura shuttle service the hotel is offering. The Acura shuttle can't be reserved in advance but is useful if it's available.

No Bang for the Buck

Okay! We went to NY for the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade! Place was a good walking distance from the parade route! When we got there, no valet? Had to find parking which was only a block away. On a good note they do accept pets, however your going to pay $125.00 for your pet, [...]. Also parking is $40.00 24 hours, and thats not included! Room we had was 1104! You can hear everyone outside and in the hallway of the hotel, since the ice machine was right across from us. Good note people were vary curtious and friendly and 3 pm late checkout

Had a fabulous stay at the W Hotel

Had a fabulous stay at the W Hotel Union Square at the end of October. The hotel is in a great location for exploring. The staff were very polite and friendly and when we checked in we were offered a quieter room on a high floor away from the main road as we had booked in for 5 nights. The hotel bar and the underbar are very popular and a good place to hang out. Would definitely go back!

Nice Place to Stay

I was in New York to visit my son who goes to NYU. The hotel was in a very convenient location, near his apartment and close to many stores around Union Square. The best part of the W is their "Whatever, Whenever" policy which came in handy on several occasions!

The best breakfast is at The Clinton Street Bakery and the most amazing middle eastern lunch is The Hummus Place at 109 Saint Marks Place.

W Union Square

Best location in New York, in my opinion. On Union Square, with excellent subway access, one of the best farmers' markets in the country and they now close off the square to vehicles on the weekend, making it a pedestrian paradise. The rooms are larger than you typical New York hotel, which is also a bonus.

Impeccable Service and Ideal Location

My husband and I frequent NYC for various reasons. This time we made the trip because his band had a gig in The Village. We love to stay at top-rated hotels but getting what we pay for is always important to us. We've stayed at W hotels before, and would consider ourselves satisfied customers, but the W Union Square surpassed our high expectations. The service was on par with the Four Seasons and we couldn't have asked for a better location. The rooms were gorgeous and spacious by NYC standards.
