The Top Three New York Fashion Week Hotels

September 10, 2009 at 5:13 PM | by JetSetCD | 2 Comments

New York City better get down on its knees and thank the hospitality gods for its good fortune this season. Although it's been a year full of recession talk and an accompanying slide in room occupancy, the first cool breezes of autumn are blowing in the city's favor, with both Fashion Week and the US Open rallying for the city's tourism industry.

Over at our brother site, Jaunted, we've already rounded up the Top Three Hot Spots To Avoid During Fashion Week, and the movers and shakers of the international fashion industry have to sleep somewhere in between runway shows and parties. Thus, we'll let you in on the Top Three Hotels For Fashion Week:

3. The Jane:
The Jane's popularity might come as a surprise to those familiar with its itty-bitty $99 rooms and shared, down-the-hall bathrooms, but this hotel on West Side Highway makes our list simply for the celeb-spotting and schmoozing that goes on at its bar. It's actually the former ballroom, and it's furnished with a whole amalgamation of collected oddities from hotelier Sean MacPherson. Cynthia Rowley held her fashion show here last season, but this time around it's the location for the after-party after the after-party.

2. The W Union Square:
You won't find any parties or runway shows here, but you will hear the town cars being orders up by guests to get to these events. W Hotels are a huge sponsor of New York Fashion Week, and have hosted a backstage lounge in the tents at Bryant Park for the past several seasons. Ask you concierge for access, and you could be chilling with B-list celebs like Amanda Bynes and Solange Knowles in no time, not to mention noshing on Pop Burger sliders.

1. The Standard, duh:
There's no competition here, what with the opening of the Standard Grill restaurants and the hotel's proximity to the Meatpacking District events of Fashion's Night Out tonight. In the lobby and in line for their table, you might run across the like of Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen, Gwen Stefani, and Elle Creative Director, Joe Zee.
