These days everyone is looking for four bar, non-complicated, hotel WiFi when they check in. Sure there are a bunch of hotel WiFi lists out there, but they are quickly out of date and unreliable.  This week, as a lead up to our popular annual hotel WiFi report, we will let you know our favorite WiFi hotels in five hot travel destinations. The rules are simple. The signal has to fast, and reliable, the cost should be free (at the very least free for guests) and the WiFi experience at these hotels offer a comfortable surfing environment. Have a city or destination you want us to investigate? Let us know. And if you have a favorite WiFi hotel you are willing to share, no matter where it is send it our way.

The  Bowery Hotel :: New York, NY

The Bowery Hotel is one of the newest hotels in New York and one with a lot of buzz. Say what you will about the location, the knife fights and the homeless man/stereo salesman, the hotel has free, fast, working wireless. A friend of HotelChatter recently stayed there and said signing on was easy--just find the Bowery Hotel network and you're good to go.

Best Part:
Naturally, being a hot hotel like the Bowery means you as a guest might be able to witness some celeb events like this Chanel Dinner that was attended by Sarah Michelle Gellar. If you're not into celebs and prefer to hole up in your room, then the giant factory windows like the one above should making doing work not feel so work-y.

Also with the exception of the Tribeca Film Festival this week and next, rooms at the Bowery are nowhere near Schrager prices ($550 and up) with a queen room available for $375.
