A chart entitled "Adventures in Claustrophobia" appears in a WSJ article today entitled "Hotel Rooms: How Small Can They Get?" and the smallest rooms were measured and commented upon.
No suprise- the "W-NY", as previously noted in FT, rated a $2.89 per sq ft per night- the highest surveyed.
BIG Surprise- Waldorf Astoria- Though I haven't stayed here in about 8 yrs, I was shocked to find this on the list of 16 hotels. The rooms I've had in the past were quite large and comfy- and that's by any standard, not just NYC standards.
Note: Thanks to Kitty Hawk below. Closer examination of the Table shows that only 1.4% of the Waldorf rooms are in this category, while 68% of the "W" rooms are.

I think most standard European hotel rooms are quite small.
