HGU New York - A SLH hotel
Just saw another New York Hyatt option in the Hyatt app.
Located in hip NoMad, just minutes away from Fifth Avenue and the Empire State Building, HGU New York is a rock’s throw from all the food, culture, and shopping Manhattan has to offer. Inside, the boutique hotel blends past and present with original pre-war features, a contemporary art collection, and midcentury modern décor.

I just checked one date (the next time I'll be in NYC) but was surprised to see the rates for this property on hyatt.com were comparable to the rates if booked direct. This is first SLH property where I haven't seen a premium for booking via Hyatt channels.

I saw the same for my dates too. It's actually a fair price for the location and quality.

I did a quick 1-night stay at this hotel to earn the 3,000 points per stay bonus. The rate on the Hyatt site was the same as the non-AAA rate available at other sources.
Check-in was efficient; the agent had all the details. He advised they had upgraded me from a Queen to a King and handed me an envelope explaining the Hyatt benefits at SLH and a voucher for continental breakfast. Room was rather nice. Breakfast was a bit odd; choice was either yogurt, fruit or a basket of bread. I asked if I could mix a couple of things (fruit and some bread) and was told no. The bread basket I got was rather large but high quality.
All in a all a good stay considering the 3,000 point bonus. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again, at least on a short trip.

Can anyone who has stayed here comment on the "pre-war style bathroom"? That scares me just a little. Can't find a pic of that on the website, but I picture myself huddling in a bathtub "showering" with a drippy hose.
