Marriott’s newest luxury property has opened in New York City this week, and it’s probably worth being aware of if you’re a Marriott Bonvoy loyalist, especially as you can redeem points here.

"I also think it’s worth acknowledging that the hotel has a strong food & beverage game, especially compared to other points hotels. For example, the Park Hyatt New York still doesn’t have a restaurant."
Fair enough, but as a NYC resident it kills me to think someone came to New York to eat at their hotel. I'm not above room service if youre arriving late/tired etc. but for a city hotel the caviar/doordash/grubhub options are almost always better than room service anyway. Totally different from resorts or more rural areas.
It's a pay for 1 night get 3 free when compared to the Aman New York! Heck of a deal!!!
ECR, totally agree with you in NYC; however, in many parts of the world the very best restaurants, at least fine dining including Michelin rated, are located in hotels, including city hotels and not just resorts.
I don't really get staying in luxury hotels in NYC tbh. I come to NYC to see and experience the city and not spend my time in a fancy hotel. And while you could maybe more or less say the same for Bangkok for example, there the same or more luxury at least only costs maybe 1/10 in comparison and without insane 50% tips+service charges.
NYC is chockablock full of great restaurants, for sure, but it can be nice to have good bars & restaurants at your hotel for business meetings, seeing friends, hosting parties and events, etc. It also makes the hotel feel more lively. Sometimes you don't want to do those things in your room or suite, for reasons simple as messiness/having stuff lying around or, I hate to say it, in a post-Weinstein era it can be better to do things in public.
There are a lot of decent, new Marriott options in this Nomad / Upper Chelsea area. This hotel, Edition, Moxy, etc.
The residence portion is interesting. They're intended for pied-a-terre use only and the resident can only be there for a maximum of 120 days each year with no more than 29 days in any 36-day period. However, there are tax benefits and the residences can be rented out as hotel suites when not in use if wanted for additional income. 1 BRs start at $3.5 million and 2 BRs at $6.6 million, which seems crazy expensive for a place you can't occupy full-time, but I guess it could make sense for people who live out of town. Curious to see if this concept takes off.
Ironically one of my favorite after-work bars in midtown used to be the whiskey lounge at the W. Great pours, lowkey vibes and beautiful high end hookers to chat with. Can’t speak to the food offerings.
Booked for Mid August.My original booking in June was canceled as they never opened
Booked this hotel a few months back before the Marriott points devaluation. Was able to lock in 5 nights at 325k points. Looked up my same dates and it's now 436k points.
I’m looking for a five night stay at the end of October and getting rates of $1,300 per night or 800,000 plus points. Ouch. We have a good rate at the Le Meridien opening soon nearby but debating as I hate the brand.
