Descent at the W Hotel

Editorial Review

While everyone seems to be reaching higher and higher into the sky, the W is plunging party people down into the Earth with its new and unambiguously named 3,000-square-foot Descent. Oodles of bright sensual reds contrast raw concrete walls and black epoxy flooring, and a 40-foot bar serves up sexy concoctions by cocktail goddess Charlotte Voisey. Best of all, unlike most hotel nightspots, shaking your money maker is enthusiastically encouraged here. It’s totally in-descent.
