Review of W New York-Downtown

Spectacular lobby with undulating ceiling at this W Hotel, with stunning views of the World Trade Center, including the Freedom Tower. Rooms are cozy, but contemporary, with many having reading nooks along the windows (see photos). Lobby bar can get noisy on weekend evenings. There is no ground-level restaurant (went out of business recently), but tons of options nearby.
