That's 7 votes for W Times Square...I think you have your answer :)

 

Seriously though, it's very modern and the rooms are spacious for NYC. The bathrooms are really cool and the whole hotel has a cool vibe. When you come in at night it's really lively and fun. Check out the website to see pics of the rooms and stuff - you won't be disappointed!

One thing I've noticed from the bathrooms in the photos though is that they're crowded. It sort of looks like The Four Seasons New York or The Sofitel might be nicer in that category. Then again, we're sort of getting away from the "modern" theme with those two and more into the "contemporary" design.

Awesome! I love what they have on their site, it'll definitely be one of the options. It is a little ways from the Times Square/Central Park area though.

The Mandarin Oriental is looking very promising too! It's right next to Central Park.
Mandarin Oriental Hotel New York City - A Luxury 5 Star Hotel in Manhattan

Here's my list so far....
  • Affinia Dumont New York
  • Four Seasons Hotel New York
  • Hotel Gansevoort
  • Mandarin Oriental Hotel
  • Marriott Marquis (still need to throw it in there)
  • Sofitel Hotel
  • W Times Square

I'm looking at the Mercer Hotel photos and I don't get why it's on the $600+ side. The Marriott Marquis looks much nicer and more spacious. It's just amazing how different the professional photos on a hotel's site can look versus the photos that are taken by it's guests (see below).
