W Union Square

201 Park Ave. South, New York City

Readers might recall this hotel's heyday when it helped reinvigorate Union Square as a buzzing hub. Now it's fresh off a vibrant Rockwell Group renovation that has transformed 256 guest rooms and common spaces.

Ascend the lobby's carpeted staircase to The Living Room, which blends beaux-arts grandeur with contemporary design for day-to-night mingling. Among the new amenities: a seafood brasserie, Seahorse; a rooftop bar behind the W's classic signage in the sky; a subterranean gym; and four versatile meeting and event spaces. marriott.com
