Is There a Secret Elevator To The Men's Room at the London NYC?
When we walked through a door marked "GENTS W.C." last week, we anticipated a few things. Gleaming faucets. Those extra fluffy hotel-branded paper towelettes. A toilet. Instead, what we found was...an elevator? On the mezzanine floor of the London NYC, it seems the gents have to traverse a separate service...

London NYC Hotel Construction May Have Forgotten Bathroom Doors
While business travel hotels find a way to do without the bathtubs, the luxury hotels better keep them.And in the case of the newly renovated London NYC hotel, the hotel better keep the doors on the bathrooms where the toilets are.

Corner suite is huge!! -
Avoid Yorkshiremen with Centurion cards -
Dining Mike Ramsey Style -
The elevators are no mess at all. Doors close quickly, yes, but it's only speeding up the process of getting you where you need to go. The service in the hotel is awesome, the two room suite great! -
adadadsada -
Room 5101 has the best view in the hotel. -
This place has free wifi. Very cool -
watch out the elevators are a mess! broken down, take forever, and doors will close on you within MOMENTS of the elevator arriving...right when your walking in.. -
Always get a name. Staff members have a habit of making assurances and not following through. Managers are unapologetic even if hotel staff members make a mistake. Better yet, AVOID this hotel. -
Beautiful hotel take advantage of the proximity to the park and go for a nice morning run to and around Central Park -
The carrot cake from in room dining is divine!! A must have! :) -
Tu as choisi une super adresse àNYC ! On vient ici aussi pour le brunch et le resto Gordon Ramsay's. -
Nicest staff ever! Upon learning that my wife and I had just married in central park that evening, we were given a bottle of (very good) wine and a congratulatory note. Best hotel experience ever! -
They have the rain showerheads! The suites here are worth every penny. Clean, spacious, comfy... Worth every penny!
-
Book your own restaurants and avoid the snooty concierge! -
Roomy rooms and bathrooms + contemporary decoration. It'd be a boutique hotel if it weren't for its large quantity of rooms. -
The rooms are enormous for a NY hotel! Ask for one at the end of the hall for a more panoramic view. -
Room with a view! It was suite:) comfortable beds, great food, friendly concierge. we'll be back. -
I agree... very spacious rooms for NYC! Good location. -
I stayed for 9 nights. Although the room was excellent, the service was poor. Especially services around the reception was disappointing... -
Dog friendly hotel with great service. The rooms are all suites and have amazing bathrooms.
Feels like Downtown, but in Midtown...
Normally when i travel to NYC i choose one of the Meat Packing hotels which are closer to my office, but I found a seductive offer on a nice room so it was worth trying it out and it more than paid for cab rides. Had a brilliant stay. The hotel is really near perfect, with downtown cool but in midtown. Rooms are gorgeous and tasteful in subtle tones with a bit of mirror accents (similar to the look in their West Hollywood location). Front desk and concierge are great. Size is intimate, views are good. The gym on the 4th floor is really lovely and has new equipment that made it a pleasure to go down, also lots of TVs on all the cardio gear, with headphones provided. The bar and lounge are cool to hang out, but i have a personal issue with the Gordon Ramsey restaurants because i always leave feeling hungry and poor. The food is stunning but the portions are so small, which is nice as a one off, but a pain if you want a nice hearty breakfast. This should not be a problem as there are lots of options for food - breakfasts on 7th (pain quotidienne is on 58th) and ample dinners on 9th (hell's kitchen). Location can't be beat for Moma (1 block), Central Park, time warner center, new Art & Design Museum, and a 25 min walk to Metropolitan. A direct subway line puts you in Soho in 15 minutes. Really i have to say a great choice for tasting Manhattan while working, i would go back very soon.
beautiful rooms
