The Westin New York at Times Square

Frommer's Review

The 10-color -- mostly copper and blue -- glass edifice looks more like a transplant from Miami Beach than something familiar to New York City terrain. And if that isn't enough to distinguish itself, the hotel also boasts a beam of light that rises through an atrium, then up to the top of the 45-story tower and into the already well-illuminated sky of Times Square.

Rooms are spacious, with the Club Rooms and Suites being the biggest, and feature the same amenities, including Westin's Heavenly Bed -- a custom Simmons Beautyrest pillow-top mattress set dressed in layer upon layer of fluffy down and crisp white linen -- and the signature Heavenly Bath, featuring the luxurious two-head shower. The hotel is located on busy Eighth Avenue, taking up the block between 42nd and 43rd streets; rooms facing 42nd Street and Eighth can be loud. In 2007, the hotel opened a spa and a series of spa rooms featuring massage chairs.

Facilities: Restaurant; bar; 2,500-sq.-ft. fitness center and spa ($10 per day, $30 per week); concierge and theater desk; business center; 24-hr. room service; laundry service; dry cleaning; currency exchange; internal access to E Walk, a 200,000-sq.-ft. entertainment-and-retail complex featuring a 13-movie theater
