Often with hotels, location is everything. And in New York, the hottest areas for hotels right now are SoHo—The Crosby Street Hotel just opened there, and a Trump and Mondrian will open next year—and Midtown West, which has The Distrikt and The Strand opening soon. A little further south of those Midtown hotels is Fashion 26: A Wyndham Hotel, which promises to open this winter. Like most hotels, Fashion 26 lists nearby attractions on its website: the Museum of Sex, Madison Square Park, and Macy’s Herald Square. It also takes a big cue from its neighbor, the Fashion Institute of Technology.

In this regular feature on HotelChatter, we choose a hotel and take a look at what other businesses or buildings are on its block. Because what's close by is nearly just as important as what's inside the hotel.

Today it’s the turn of Andaz Liverpool Street, which was named this summer as the best hotel in the world for “party people”.

The official blurb says that:

Located adjacent to Liverpool Street Station, the hotel provides easy access to areas both in and around London, with good connections to the Eurostar terminal and all major airports, including a direct connection on the Stansted Express to Stansted airport.

The main attractions of Tower Bridge, the Tower of London, St. Paul's Cathedral, Tate Modern and Spitalfields Market are all within walking distance, and the shopping hub of Oxford Street only a 7minute Tube ride away.

So far, so boring.

In this regular feature on HotelChatter, we choose a hotel and take a look at what other businesses or buildings are on its block. Because what's close by is nearly just as important as what's inside the hotel.

Today we look at one of our 10 Hot New York City Hotel Openings, The Strand Hotel.

This is how they describe their locale:

the 20-floor Strand Hotel is ideally located just around the corner from the Empire State Building, steps from prime NYC shopping, the Theatre District, Madison Square Garden, Bryant Park, Grand Central Station and much more.

And they’re right. This is a fantastic, central location. Lord & Taylor, Macy’s, the New York Public Library, and all those places they mention are all within walking distance. And you will never go hungry or want for touristy tschokes. But here’s the “much more”—what you’ll find on the actual block itself, on W. 37th Street, between Fifth and Sixth Avenues.

In a new regular feature on HotelChatter, we'll choose a hotel and take a look at what other businesses or buildings are on its block. Because what's close by is nearly just as important as what's inside the hotel.

Today we strolled by one of the hotels listed on our 10 Hot New York City Hotel Openings, The Distrikt Hotel. The hotel describes its location like this: "Located in the heart of Manhattan on West 40th Street between 8th and 9th Avenues in Midtown Manhattan". And "steps away from The New York Times Building and Times Square." Technically, this is true. But there’s a few other things the funky-sounding hotel is not telling you....
