Stayed for 4 days in March 2020. The location was great, close to FIDI, the 9/11 Memorial, Brooklyn Bridge, and other sightseeing. The room was clean and we liked the boutique-style decoration. The Fitness center is quite small, but you have the same on 3 floors so it was not packed. They also had hand sanitizer by the entrance when the coronavirus outbreak has started. We would like to thank all the front desk staff.

We had a great experience at Gild Hall. As a Globalist, we were supposed to receive a complimentary upgrade to a standard suite, which was available during our online checkin. Despite a 1 King Suite being available, we were assigned a 1 King Premium. When we mentioned this at checkin the hotel said they had no suites available to place us in and we could pay for an upgrade to the Penthouse suite. We paid for the upgrade but this is not how it should work per the World of Hyatt terms and conditions.

Rooms are tastefully decorated and functional and have a great selection of snacks and drinks inside. Very spacious but that is what I would expect for their top room. Our breakfast was also covered and the restaurant staff were very friendly and the food was delicious.

Our stay was very short but it was a great one. Gild Hall offers a good value for cash and points stay. I would recommend booking as late as possible because the hotel dropped their rates for that night sometime in the afternoon.

From soup to nuts this hotel was great. Price, location, staff and the rooms. We were more than happy with our stay here. The fitness center is so so but serviceable. The staff went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable.

This is a very beautiful boutique Hotel. The staff was very pleasant and helpful. I loved the glass of Prosecco upon arrival. The restaurant associated with the Hotel was top notch. Room was exceptionally clean and great decor. The pillows are the most comfortable i've ever experienced.

The decor was a bit dated when I arrived at the hotel, which was fine. The nightstands were covered with a film of dust which made me worry about the cleanliness of the rest of the room. Considering the Coronavirus, they should really pay more attention to clean the room .

Financial District Description

Gild Hall a Thompson Hotel is located in the Financial District neighborhood of Manhattan. The financial hub of the United States, the seat of New York City government, and home to some of New York's oldest buildings, the Financial District has an illustrious history. 17th century settlers began building here, and given the many seafarers of the time, boats could be conveniently docked at one of the slips right near the settlements of wooden homes. Right nearby, in the heart of the district is Federal Hall, where George Washington was inaugurated as the first President of the United States in 1789, also the meeting site for the First Congress. New York City was both the capital of the United States and New York State at the time.

The street names reflect the district's fascinating history: Fulton Street, named after Robert Fulton, the inventor of the steamboat; Maiden Lane, originally called Magde Platje in Dutch; Beaver Street, recalling the once-significant beaver pelt trade, etc.

The area today houses some great economic powerhouses, including the headquarters of major banks, the New York Stock Exchange, in addition to the World Financial Center. Contrasts are extraordinary, from old two- and three-story old brick buildings near South Street Seaport to the nearby modern mega-skyscrapers. Some of the numerous other attractions include Fraunces Tavern, where George Washington bid farewell to his troops (also, they have a museum!); the newly-landscaped City Hall Park; the Museum of the American Indian and the US Custom House at Bowling Green; Trinity Church, the first parish church in New York City and the resting place of Alexander Hamilton and Robert Fulton, among others; War Of 1812 strong hold Castle Clinton; the Staten Island-bound South Ferry; Battery Park; and the Federal Reserve Bank. Sadly, the biggest attraction since 9/11 has been the former World Trade Center site, although, thankfully, construction has finally filled the long-standing gouge in Lower Manhattan's face, and the stunning 9/11 Memorial and its attendant museum are welcome signs of a healing city. And, of course, soaring a symbolic 1,776 feet over the memorial is the new 1 World Trade Center!
