WALK THE WALK

THE WAL ER HOTEL’S RECENT REVAMP GIVES GUESTS THE FEELING THEY ARE STAYING IN A GREENWICH VILLAGE PIED-À-TERRE.

On a serene street just south of Union Square, the Walker Hotel offers the glitz and glamour of the jazz age (think velvet-covered furniture and mood lighting) with modern luxuries (like HDTVS and in-room stereos). The bar and room interiors make guests feel as though they’ve escaped to a Gatsby-esque time, and the pristinely tiled marble bathrooms offer supreme relaxation with a soaking tub, standing glass shower, and toiletries by C.O. Bigelow. The Walker Terrace room also leads out to its own balcony overlooking the Village below and the Empire State Building in the distance— allowing guests to enjoy one of New York’s most intimate neighborhoods and its vibrant Art Deco history. 52 W. 13th St., 212-375-1300; walkerhotel.com
