Signage and logo design doesn't have too much to do with a guest's experience of a hotel, but this kerfuffle brought both Z hotels back to our attention, which is not a bad thing. They're both independent boutique properties that often get lost in the mix offered in their respective cities--but both are definitely worth checking out.
One thing both hotels have going for them is covetable rooftop space. At the Z New York, the rooftop lounge Z Roof gives cocktail-sipping guests panoramic views of the Manhattan skyline, including all the picture-worthy landmarks like the Empire State Building, the UN and the Chrysler Building. (Although, the rooftop is closed until the spring.)
Down in South Beach, Z Ocean Hotel has a number of Deluxe Rooftop Terrace Suites, which may just be the best-kept secret in Miami. With the option of city view or Miami Beach view, each suite has its own 600-square-foot terrace with a dining table, lounging bed, wet bar and sound system, and a hot tub that seats four.
It's probably not fair to compare the East River with Miami's Atlantic Ocean, but we think we know who wins in the rooftop wars...
