As you can see by my reviews I've stayed at countless 5 star hotels nationwide, moving forward when I travel to NYC I'll always be in the West Village, Meatpacking District and I'll be staying at The Gansevoort. I recently returned from a friends 50th birthday in which I booked the Gansevoort, we called ahead on the way from JFK and they allowed me to order room service so our food arrived 15 minutes after checking in because we had to get to MSG to see Billy Joel!! The food was fantastic, service impeccable, the hotel was perfect in every way. Our room 1016 had unbelievable views, a great little balcony and the rooftop pool was a huge added bonus. The location is the BEST in the Meatpacking, Sammy the Manager at The Chester was incredibly accommodating and opened the kitchen to bring my friend a Birthday dessert after Billy Joel! I absolutely loved everything about The Gansevoort and look forward to returning with my wife!!
