An All New Point of View

VIP Outside Bar

The W Hotel’s POV Lounge reopened last Friday night after a late-summer renovation.  The rooftop rendezvous spot with sweeping views of the city and, of course, its next door neighbor, the White House, features new moods within its indoor and outdoor spaces.

Red Tape Art Installation

You may have to think hard to recognize the renovations outside, but look for new bars, updated lounge decor, and a funky large red tape art installation.  Inside is all new — and more strikingly so — with a dome bar and communal space/barstools that beg to start up a conversation.

Friday night’s re-opening party brought in a mix of the diverse crowds the hotspot is hoping to draw in with its varied updates… and its ever-present velvet rope.
