Though the W Hotel is saving its massive opening showdown until later in the Fall, the doors opened to the public today, first with a preview of the famous Bliss Spa and then with a more select who’s who cocktail reception on the roof.
Lined up down the block (both blocks) to get a glimpse of the “View from Above” – which is, obviously, the same view that the hotel has always had, it was previously the Hotel Washington – non-invited guests of the opening party still had the chance to enjoy the skyline by making dinner reservations. Whether they had seen it before or not, even the view was “new” tonight.
But even if you didn’t play the name game to guess which friends of yours might have scored resi’s upstairs in order to make it past the clipboard gals and onto the elevators, DJ Neekola was spinning the party downstairs in the lobby and everyone ran into someone they knew. In terms of buzz generated by W’s opening night, we’d say it was a “W”… a win that is.
