OVERVIEW
Early morning on the streets of the meatpacking district is as gritty as ever, but everything else about the neighborhood has undergone major changes, not the least of which is the presence of this sparklingly modern hotel with 187 guest rooms. A loft with an adjoining terrace holds 300 for receptions, and a garden holds 75. The hotel also offers a cellar-level, 16-seat boardroom and a 1,216-square-foot meeting room that holds 125 for receptions. Also on-site is G Spa, which opened in February 2006.
