Best New York City Hotels for Nightlife By Oyster Hotel Reviews  |
| |
New York City draws people in for many reasons, ranging from a chance to take a picture with every tourist attraction one can possibly fit into a big-red double-decker bus- filled afternoon to celebrity stalking, pizza tasting and Broadway singing. For many, New York City promises the glitz and glam unlike any other city. There is something classier and more mysterious about the Big Apple’s nightlife scene then other hot spots. It isn’t gaudy like Vegas and it isn’t sponsored by Ed Hardy like Los Angeles.
For those looking to make travel plans in this concrete glam, why not pick a hotel that already provides some of the most exclusive access to New York City nightlife. Not sure how to go about doing this? Oyster Hotel Reviews has rounded up the best New York City hotels for nightlife.
The Bowery Hotel:
Guests and locals alike hang out in the cozy, dimly lit lobby bar that serves creative cocktails and boasts a well-selected wine list. If you're lucky, one of the hotel's celebrity guests might stop by for a drink.
Gramercy Park Hotel:
The Gramercy Park Hotel's velvet-heavy Rose Bar is one of the hottest places in the city for the hip, beautiful, and famous to meet over drinks. Just don't casually stroll into the Rose Bar after 10 p.m. and expect to get a table -- unless, that is, you've been on the cover of a fashion magazine or won a Grammy in the past year or so. Hotel guests do at least have an edge: They're entitled to jump the line if people are actually waiting to get in. And they can book reservations for a table through the concierge -- which is strongly suggested if you hope to sit down, though even that isn't a guarantee.
Hotel Gansevoort:
Five years after it opened, the Gansevoort's rooftop lounge, Plunge, continues to pull in a nightly parade of short-skirted and high-heeled twenty- and thirty-something women and their male counterparts. The skyline views are superb.
The Cooper Square Hotel:
The Cooper Square Hotel bar Table 8 is packed on weekend nights with revelers standing shoulder-to-shoulder. The windows often fog up from the intensity of the scene. The bar's specialty cocktail is the Basil 8, with vodka, muddled grapes, basil, simple syrup, lime juice, and ginger ale.
W New York - Union Square:
The W Union Square is the most "downtown" of all the W's, and its Olives bar (and the Underbar in the basement) is hip but not exclusive, drawing crowds of young professionals for $11 cocktails.
60 Thompson:
A60 is one of the city's most exclusive rooftop bars -- its open only to card-carrying "members" (read: celebrities, fashion types, and other bold-named New Yorkers) and hotel guests. For the price of a room you just might gain access to some of the best celebrity gawking in Manhattan.
Soho Grand Hotel:
The music at the Soho Grand gets upbeat and loud in the evenings, as the lounge fills with twenty- and thirty-something scenesters -- men in dark skinny jeans, women with chic bobs -- and you often have to push your way to the bar. The scene is particularly frenetic on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights, when a DJ spins the tunes.
W New York:
The hotel bar Whiskey Blue is the most happening bar in the not-so-happening area of Midtown East. The swank David Rockwell-designed space features expensive drinks, pictures of rock stars on the wall, and waitresses in tight black dresses. As the most stylish bar in the area it's a magnet for many business travelers, but it's not as popular with locals, who take issue with its high prices and heavy dose of attitude.
