Last week we looked inside the Millenium Hilton's indoor-pool in downtown New York. This week we have some room photos to share with you.

But first, a little hotel history. The Millenium Hilton was blown out five years ago during the September 11th attacks but reopened again in 2003 after extensive renovations. Being next to the WTC site isn't exactly easy for the hotel. The Church street entrance is closed due to construction so guests are instructed to enter on the Fulton side. And most hotel rooms overlook the WTC site. Not quite an uplifting view.

But the hotel was bustling with guests during our visit (maybe due to the $199 special) and a hotel spokesperson informed us that up to 3/4 of the hotel's employees before the attacks returned to their jobs when the hotel reopened.

This is not quite a Viewlicious photo shoot since we took the shots ourselves but we did get a chance to get in the  Mayoral Suite on the 55th floor, which is the smaller of the executive suites--the Governor's and the Presidential Suites being the larger ones. Plus, the views from this floor are amazing, especially the ones looking East. (See above taken from the 55th floor elevator lobby.)

We've also included some shots of a standard room on the 16th floor, for those of you who aren't mayoral enough for the suite.
