The W Hotel Midtown has finally opened. The exterior looks great. The lobby has been chopped in half, and is rather small. This hotel has been a Sheraton, and when it opened in the mid-seventies, it was a Fairmont. And the first brunch in the city, Blue Jeans Brunch, was on the top floor, where the new Whiskey Bar is located. And Rande Gerber, and his brother have brought their signature bar to the ATL. Expensive, beautiful, like the girl of your dreams. But when the dream is over, you have your American Express party bill. Such is life. We loved the Spice Market on the second level. Not as much spice as we like, and not as authentic as the one in the Meat Packing District. But a great addition to Midtown. And we miss the grand staircase that was in the lobby, so I guess we will just have to go across the street to the Four Season's for theirs. Place will do well, for a contemporary approach to hospitality in Midtown. Waiting on the new W Downtown this fall, with the BLT Restaurant.
Pros: Hip Hotel, Whiskey Park, & Spice Market!
Cons: Don't Care For The Lobby Design!
