Editorial Review
In a neighborhood that has a distinct architectural style, the 187-room, 14-floor Hotel Gansevoort stands out as sophisticated and minimalist. With a lavish use of leather and fabric, the architect created a rich, contemporary feeling. The signature feature of the hotel is its rooftop, featuring a richly landscaped roof garden and an expansive loft with soaring 20-foot ceilings that offers breathtaking city views in three directions. A 45-foot outdoor heated pool with underwater music anchors the roof's other side; it is unique in New York and reflects both thid ultra-trendy property and the ultra-trendy Meatpacking District. Given such success, management nevertheless has placed two highway-size billboards behind the hotel, marring the aesthetic qualities of both hotel and neighborhood. In any event, the property also features a bar and restaurant managed by China Grill Management, and a 5,100-square-foot full-service spa and exercise facility, as well as a state of the art boardroom, business center and meeting room. Just steps away are numerous trendy restaurants and boutiques, and on weekends especially this neighborhood sizzles with activity. See it all from your center stage location at the Gansevoort!
