Great location: guests are always positively impressed! All the members of the staff are very helpful and friendly and ready to solve any minor issue you might deal with in a busy working day.

While not a WeWork member (yet) I have attended a couple of business meetings at this location. This is also called the WeWork tower because it s located in a midtown high rise. The lobby is a bit intimidating and contrasts the typical creative vibes of WeWorks I ve been to before. Once at the offices I was greeted with the typical informal meeting area with couches gallore. Plus the new craze of cucumber water (which is kinda gross) and uninspiring midtown views. The internal private meeting rooms seemed a bit dark and we did have a small scheduling conflict of someone being on a reserved space, but it all worked out.

Tower 49 is my favorite wework location in midtown Manhattan.

I love the community team and the facilities are top notch.

Happy hour is often more fun than at any bar in the neighborhood

If you are a Wework member, there is also a great executive fitness center on the fifth floor

I moved into a WeWork office at Tower 49 at the beginning of May 2017 and it has been a terrific experience! It is an all-around upbeat atmosphere in a professional environment, and the friendly staff members are incredibly helpful and respond to any request within minutes. The location is convenient and my clients have also said how much they like the space. WeWork and other companies host events every week so there is a real sense of community and excellent networking opportunities within Tower 49 and the entire WeWork membership.

Our office is located in this building and my coworkers and I really like the space. The floors are always clean and the WeWork staff is polite and helpful, the facilities are modern and function well (printers and such).

Besides that, WeWork frequently hosts events by other companies introducing new products and services which allow employees of different firms to mingle -- the highlight of the last week, for example, was The Economist's event, during which the reps offered ice cream and discounted subscriptions. WeWork 49 really does feel like a community and that's great.

I would definitely recommend this workspace.

I was the first tenant to move into this location when it opened in March. Previously I was in another shared office space in Rocekfeller Center. I was excited to move into a WeWork location as WeWork offers greater value and benefits than my previous space. I believe Tower 49 is the largest WeWork location in New York City. The collection of companies, and tenants is diverse and covers many industries. This location has great natural light due to the large windows, high ceilings, and color scheme WeWork chose. I have worked out of other WeWork locations throughout New York City and other cities, and Tower 49 continues to be my favorite. A fantastic staff makes all the difference, and they have a great team here.

This office building is an amazing set up. Our company started to use the WeWork back in August and we have had nothing but great things to say about the look and feel of the office space.

If you have to go above the 11th floor on a daily basis get used to spending 10mins or more just waiting and riding the elevator. It is not an exaggeration to say that you have to endure stopping at every floor. Easy to solve but despite a lot of complaints from all tenants that s what we still have to put up with.

The elevator situation is terrible here. Avoid unless you are cool with you and your clients waiting five minutes for the elevator to arrive most times during the day

Update Jan 10, 2018 - they've added one additional elevator so revising my rating from 2* in hopes this helps.

I love We Work. My company worked in the Charging Bull location while renovating its old office -- and we liked it so much that, once we were able to move from that office, we voluntarily gave up our brick-and-mortar space for Tower 49. We also moved our LA office into a We Work.

I realized after being here for a while that what we get from We Work is not just space but culture. We Work excels at creating a vibrant workplace. It's easy to be here -- there's always fresh coffee, the staff is always friendly and quick to help -- but it's also fun. There are frequent networking events, free food, beer on tap. Our staff loves being here and we hope that, no matter how we grow, we will be able to remain here for the long term.

I've personally worked in two We Work locations plus squatted in a couple others. Tower 49 in particular has to be the best of all of them. It's a large facility with a lot of people -- and therefore a lot of variety and interaction. But best of all are the staff here. They couldn't be more personable or helpful. I give them and the entire place 5 stars!

Fierceness....the company, as its many branches, are not shy about showing, they actually work hard, not working....awsome relaxed environment, awsome gracious employees, with good coffee, beer, etc.....

My only complaint is that your elevator system sucks. You have a pile of people waiting on the floor at a time. You have 6 elevators but only one opens what feels like every 5 minutes. Other than that it is a nice place to work.
