Gild Hall — A Thompson Hotel
15 Gold Street, New York City, NY, USA
Neighborhood: Manhattan - Financial District
Check availability as rates may vary for dates. Best rate guaranteed.
Whether it’s an advantage or a disadvantage is somewhat in the eye of the guest, but one thing’s for sure: the most notable feature of Thompson Hotels’ new Gild Hall is its location. Just a few hundred yards from Wall Street, this is deep in the heart of the financial district, a place that not too many years ago used to turn into a ghost town by about seven in the evening.
It turns out bankers and brokers have plenty of taste. Forget about tired Nineties minimalism — this place is full of character, right down to the split-level library and champagne bar, complete with fully-functioning books (pages and all) and clubby leather sofas. This, one imagines, is where the masters of the financial universe come to unwind after the closing bell.
There’s a whiff of nostalgia upstairs as well, the typically stylish guest rooms done up in dark masculine colors, with leather headboards behind the beds. Gild Hall carefully walks the line between fashionable boutique and out-and-out luxury hotel, a line you may have noticed all the Thompson hotels stick close to. Another reward for those who aren’t shy about exploring the lowest of Lower Manhattan is the hotel’s Felice Ristorante, an outpost of the popular Upper East Side restaurant of the same name, done here in a sort of Twenties-glam style — again, as far from glossy stockbroker minimalism as it gets.

What I liked:
Love the style. The employees are friendly and helpful
What the hotel could do better:
My room had no A/C on Friday night and was over 80 degrees on Saturday morning. They were unable to fix the A/C and they could not move me until mid-afternoon. Although the front desk manager was apologetic, I think they should have comped one of the three nights.

The room was big, clean and very stylish. The bed was extremely comfortable. Bathroom was also breathtaking. The customer service was absolutely fantastic, the offered us complimentary WiFi ($15 per day normally) and Mini bar. I bended the fridge key, and the hotel replaced it free of charge.
What the hotel could do better:
... are you kidding? Absolutely nothing!
