Fodor's Review:

The rooms here have something completely original and breathtaking—when you hit a button on a remote control, your curtains slowly open to reveal floor-to-ceiling glass windows. Seen that trick before? Well, this is the only tall building in the area, and the views of the Lower East Side and Midtown are unadulterated New York. The bathrooms aren't for the modest or faint of heart—you'll either want to shower with your glasses on, or you'll blush at being completely naked before the entire city (privacy curtains can be requested). Downstairs, the hotel bar is pure excess—it and the jumping restaurant are velvet-roped mayhem on weekends. (Staying here also gives you access to a small VIP bar next door.) The mezzanine bar-art library-billiard room is a hangout you can call your own. Pros: superhip location and vibe; huge windows with wonderful New York views; happening bar and restaurant. Cons: feels like a club on weekends; spotty service; small rooms and suites.
