Here's the Statue of Liberty view:
Pretty amazing, huh!
The good news is it's a corner room, and the other windows look out on the river, as in the post above.
Battery Park City is so quiet, with the Riverview Suite, you can actually leave the window open at night when the weather is nice. Not many other NYC hotels where you can do that.

Some months ago I was traveling with my family and they upgraded us to one of this rooms and we had to request to be moved to a "non-view room" with sofa bed.

Well, folks, this is a tough bunch! Just completed four nights there. We made the reservation right after the massive devaluation was announced so I got four night at the AXON rate of 145,000 points. Not very excited about the visit - we go to NYC every December and usually stay at Starwoods - either the Parker Meridien or, last year, the St Regis, always on points. This was a stay in an area far away from our usual haunts and in an area I knew nothing about - but I was determined to get rid of my Hilton points so what the hell.
As a Diamond, we were upgraded to a Luxury Suite. BTW, at check-out, a family with two young kids was checking in right before us and they were offered the stuffed animals. I guess it's routine for kids. With too many small grandkids, I decided one animal wouldn't do so I never even asked.
That said, we had an amazing stay. Loved the hotel and, much to my shock, loved the area. Suite was magnificent. View was only the street but suite was so great, I couldn't care less. Yes, there are hotels where top-level elites get better breakfasts (Andaz, for example) but Starwood only gives me Continental Breakfast as a Platinum elite and this was far better. One of the four days I ordered off the regular menu and the difference was so small that they simply waived the extra charge.
Yes, it's five minutes to the E train to Broadway - no big deal to us. One night there was absolutely an issue getting a cab but I had downloaded Uber on my phone before we went to the city and it came in very handy. More expensive but for a free stay, the extra $10 was fine and it is a valuable back-up to have when you need to be someone (and it is a very cool program to boot).
Some of what I have read here is very picky. The non-award cash rates are ridiculously low for a hotel of this quality. The suite was beautiful, the staff very helpful and friendly, not more we could have asked for. We look forward to returning. It's a great destination and I can only imagine that in the Spring/Summer, when the weather is beautiful, this area would be hard to beat.

Definitely not true. I paid over $500/night for a Superior Suite on my last stay. Sometimes this hotel is competitively priced, sometimes it's overpriced, occasionally it's a bargain (particularly on weekends, like many hotels in the financial district).

Agreed. I was looking to make a reservation at the Conrad late January. Practically every Hilton family hotel in Manhattan is sub-$200 but the Conrad is $349. (Although the Millenium is high too so maybe there's something going on int he WTC area)

This statement is pretty on the mark and since the Conrad NY has become my go to hotel in NY I am pretty familiar with the price fluctuations of the hotel. As a general rule of thumb, Friday & Saturday rates are generally at a material discount to weekday rates (although you can often also get a good rate for Sunday night if you are doing a three day weekend). I have noticed that the "bargain" day weekend prices are higher than they used to be and I attribute that to an overall strengthening of NYC hotel prices but also as the hotel has gained traction in the market. I have recommended it to several friends and acquaintances who likely never would have stayed there due to its location and they all now love it.

Conrad NYC room question (sleep 5?)
Hi,
I need to stay in NYC with my wife & kids on a Sunday night.
The Conrad has a 1br suite with two doubles and a sofabed in the lounge.
I've emailed the hotel to no avail - does anyone know if they will allow 5 in this room (2 adults & 3 young kids?)
Thanks
Tony

I wouldn't see why not- but just don't tell them if you are concerned. Usually the need for an extra bed is the giveaway but that is covered. If you are worried about check in have your wife stash the kids while you pickup the key.

I've stayed at Conrad New York several times and believe the standard suites are sufficiently spacious for two adults and three young children. Note that not all rooms have sofa beds, however, so be sure to call the hotel and request one after making your reservation. (Indeed, some rooms are furnished with a standard sofa without pull-out bed.)

Thanks for that.
I didn't know if NYC hotels were particularly prickly over occupancy for fire codes or whatever.
I'll give the hotel a call on Monday.

If your three children are small enough to fit together on the queen-sized sofa bed, I would suggest a king room rather than two doubles. I think a double bed would be less than ideal for two adults.

I find European hotels are stricter with occupancy than their American counterparts. While American hotels might deny a roll-away bed in a tight room, I've never encountered any objection to a reasonable number of occupants.

Not sure of kids' ages, but we've used cushions from the sofa for our youngest. Also, they do have some very large suites in one corner, usually at higher cost in dollars or points, that can very easily take five.

Thinking of staying here (a toss up between this and the Doubletree) in November.
It's a bit of a splurge for me, and I'll be on my own. In a nutshell - is it worth it? I've read a few reviews and noticed the Gold breakfast offering is a bit of a joke, which I could overlook if it stood out considerably in other areas.
Thanks in advance...
