The project represents <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/tag/Morgans%20Hotel%20Group">Morgans Hotel Group</a>'s triumphant return to New York City. Crazy right? We know. The work is being overseen by the conversion experts at HTO. They even have a permit! The hotel will definitely have some big name restaurant and nightlife establishments, but no contracts have been signed with anyone. </blockquote> This sounds about right. Since the beginning of the year Morgans, and more specifically, <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/tag/Mondrian%20Hotels">Mondrian</a>, have made it perfectly clear that they will be

But if you were wondering where we would tell our friends to stay, here's what we suggest.· <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/W+NEW+YORK+UNION+SQUARE/ian/174141">W Union Square</a>: The place has a great restaurant, Olive's and a hip nightlife with Underbar. It's also in the heart of Union Square which is less touristy than say, Times Square. But our main reason for suggesting this hotel is that the rooms are fairly large here.
