Naturally, The View is Grand from the Suites at The Soho Grand

Where: 310 West Broadway [map], New York, NY, United States, 10013

We are suckers for a room with a killer view.  We find that we are even more likely to forgive some minor hotel inconveniences if we can stare out the window at something pretty--yeah we are that shallow. Let's help out our fellow hotel mavens by uploading rooms with killer views to the HotelChatter/Flickr photo pool, or by sending the photo along to us. We will feature our favorites in this space from time to time. Remember to tell us the name of the hotel and the room number of the hot view.

Yesterday, we dished on the new suites at the Soho Grand Hotel assaulting you (in a good way!) with photos, videos and extreme details. But today, we'd like to take a moment away from the Apple products that are stocked in the room, to just admire the view.

Yup, this is what about $1,350 will get you inside suite 1634. The bedroom view (above) looks out east over West Broadway, actually directly into the fancy new Soho Mews apartment building where hotelier Vikram Chatwal has just bought a place.

Inside The New Soho Grand Suites

Where: 310 W Broadway [map], New York City, NY, United States, 10013

If you are a fan of downtown NYC hotels, these just might be the moving and still pixels you've been waiting for -- a look inside the Soho Grand Hotel's brand spanking new "Grand Suites".

In order to get to any of the ten suites you must nab an exclusive key card from the front desk that will get you up to the 16th floor, where all the suites are located. How do you get said key? Well, obviously you will have to book a Grand Suite. While July saw and incredibly justifiable intro rate of $700 for these suites, September is a different story, we were just quoted $1350.00 for a Thursday night this month. Ouch. Why so high? Two reasons: 1) NYC is back and so are the hotel rates. This August was at far higher occupancy rates than a year ago. 2) Fashion week is coming and Soho Grand can charge crazy rates for fashion week and still fill the rooms.
