I too have a city like that - Paris. It's my home away from home, and I just LOVE it there. Mark my word, I WILL live there one day! It's nice finding a city that you're at ease in, isn't it? :) Any idea when you'll get to go back? I totally understand how you feel about being able to live in NYC for an extended period.

Any idea when you’ll get to go back?

I've heard the rooms are similar, but I didn't go to any of them, just the meeting areas. I suspect the W is overhyped. Similarly, the Opus in Vancouver has a microscopic lobby, with little room to hang out and remarkably uncomfortable seating. I'd prefer a Holiday Inn anytime.

I stayed in a W hotel in Seattle earlier in the year, and I had to shout to be heard at the front desk. The techno-hiphop-trance music was about 30 decibels too loud.
