The 1911 Guardian Life building - designed in the Beaux-Arts style - is a magnificent granite and limestone structure with all the exquisite details inherent in traditional European architecture. Designed by famed architect David Rockwell, W New York - Union Square combines the charm of this ethereal historic building with the contemporary W touch. The beautiful park outside extends into our warm Living Room to welcome you. Our signature feather bed with goose down comforters and pillows beckons you.
