As we mentioned last week, Jimmy, the rooftop bar at The James New York opened on the weekend and we dropped by last night for a little taste of what he has to offer.

We were impressed by the views from this space when we first saw it under construction a couple of months back. And we're happy to report that taking in the nighttime views while perched comfortably on a blue sofa with a strong cocktail in hand did not disappoint.

Seems that not everybody is as ranty about Jamie as us, though, because Maison MK in Marrakech has just announced that Jamie has deemed its roof terrace the best roof top

A new concept from <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/tag/doubletree">Doubletree</a>who'd have thoughtThe Wit opened its doors at the end of May and quickly rose to the top of the Chicago nightlife scene. Intent on snooping about the hotel, which is obviously very inspired by the more scene-y Manhattan Hotels (<a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/60+Thompson/local/15">60 Thompson</a>, <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/The+Hotel+on+Rivington+THOR/local/1">The Hotel On Rivington</a>), we headed to the loop for dinner at one of their restaurants and a drink on the rooftop, and we can say that The Wit definitely packs a few impressive punches.

Its a bubbling-under-the-surface buzz, mind you, but the nations capital has waited a long time to welcome a W er, a W Hotel, that is. Perhaps most of all, Washingtonians are eager to see what Starwood has done with the old Hotel Washingtons iconic Sky Terrace, a roof spot unrivaled for its views of the White House, Washington Monument, and, well, pretty much the rest of DC. Though beloved for its incredible views, the Sky Terrace always seemed to ooze with mediocrity previously (i.e. overpriced-but-underwhelming drinks and a touristy vibe).
