Trump Soho Hotel, New York
Hi all,
This is my first post within this superb site, so please excuse me if this has been covered before or posted in the wrong forum.
I would be interested to hear if any one has stayed at this hotel and of their experiences.
Can you also recommend any alternatives; we have stayed at the MO and FS before and are looking for a new take on New York. We are looking for a hotel that will cater for 2 adults and 2 children?
Thanks

Haven't been to Trump Soho.....
But a different take on New York would be a an upper east side stay. Both Plaza Athenée and Lowell are very children friendly. Otherwise The Carlyle and Surrey are interesting choices

I stayed at the Trump Soho in August. While the room was generally nice as it was so new, I think you will be disappointed coming from the FS or MO. I agree with the previous poster that staying on the UES (Carlyle, Mark, Surrey) would be fun. If you want to stay somewhere downtown, I think maybe the gramercy park hotel would be better since your children could play in the park. Of course, if you are going during the summer, than the Trump Soho, Thompson LES and Soho House all have pools, which would be good.

That being said, the UES is very pleasant, and might be nice for a change. Downtown would probably be more convenient for doing most things though. Then again, taxis are usually pretty easy to get in NYC (although I've been having terrible luck getting cabs recently; almost every time it takes me >15 min, no matter where I am. The one exception to this has, ironically, been Morningside Heights).

Any recent experiences? I'm considering this versus the FS.. The FS is a good 300 a night more expensive though... (though that includes FSPP benefits and $100 a night credit...) I'm willing to forgo those in exchange for the room rate.. I've got to save my pennies for an Aman trip in February... My priorities are a good hard product, and a reasonable location for visiting a friend in Brooklyn and seeing a show. Oh and I like in room NEspresso machines.. I'm a fairly regular regular to NYC given my sisters live there, but it's always the UES so I'm not as familiar with anything below 60th to be honest (always there for family stuff)....
thanks

Trump Soho is virtuoso so you'll get benefits. Hard product is really good room-wise, it's just the Trump style I can't get along with (Soho was my first and only experience of Trump hotels).
However value for the product is amazing. If you're looking to save money for an Aman experience, go for it
And you'll get your Nespresso coffee in room

I have spent 2x1 weeks at TS and found the experience positive. Hard product is (much) better than FS:NY. Soft, depends on who you catch. Andreas Oberoi is top shelf and ran a tight ship when we were there.
Have tried the 1BR suite and the 2BR penthouse - both perfect.
As for MO - i'm not a fan, but thats a long story.

I'd say take a look at The Greenwich Hotel in Tribeca over Trump.....The negative on Greenwich is entry level rooms can be small.

thanks for all the suggestions/info.. the rate I'm looking at is prepaid and doesn't qualify for any virtuoso benefits. No breakfast either.. Upside is that it's about 300 cheaper than the FS, and 250 cheaper than the Greenwich; which should pay for breakfast....

Jet Luxury resorts has rooms at Trump Soho usually at better rates than you can get through Virtuoso or other sources, maybe that is the rate you are using -- if not, check 'em out, have used them a few times in Honolulu with no problems.

I just hope the new FS downtown (Church street ?) will force them to spend in order to do a hard product refurb

The owner doesn't want to invest in a refurb. A lot of companies have corporate rates with FS (global corporate rates) so they put their employees there. Location is excellent and service is also.

Church Street will be interesting, but personally I'm really looking forward to PH NYC. That could potentially be a MO/4S killer if they do it right!

I don't think the hard product is that bad compared to what else is on offer in NYC...
I don't consider the Trump Soho in the same league. Yes, I liked my suite there but unless obligated to be down there, I prefer midtown. The service is typical Trump: a lot of flash but so/so service.
