Andaz Wall Street - New York


Entrance

The Andaz Wall Street sits on the corner of Wall Street and Water Street, conveniently located in the Financial District.
Lobby
As you enter the hotel, the lobby is open and spacious.  It is somewhat dimly lit.  The check-in desk is located to the left.  I was immediately greeted upon entering the hotel, my bags were taken by the host and taken to the check-in area.

My Hyatt Diamond status was immediately recognized, and all benefits were clearly explained.  I was upgraded to an Extra Large King Room, which is a Junior Suite.

Living Room
View to Bedroom
Upon entering the hotel, there is a small living room with sofa, two sitting chairs, coffee table and TV.  The TV cabinet/closet separates the living room from the bedroom.

Bathroom
Bathub/Shower
C. O. Bigelow Amenities
As you walk towards the bedroom, the bathroom is to the left.  The toilet, sink area, and shower/tub area are all separate.  The shower and bathtub are in their own enclosed space.  The tub is oversized and would probably take 30 minutes to fill.

Desk
In the bedroom area is an elongated desk area with the TV at the far end of the desk.  The mini-bar is located under the TV, with the usual complimentary snacks and non-alcoholic drinks that are available at all Andaz properties.  On the other side of the TV is a large mirror that would be perfect for women when doing their make-up.

Bed
The bed is very comfortable with a nightstand on either side of the bed.  Electronic controls for the lights, thermostat and window shades are mounted on the wall on each side of the bed.

View From Room
The room is spacious and has many windows.  Although there are blackout shades, they only do a decent job of keeping out all of the light.  My room overlooked Water Street.

The area is fairly deserted on the weekends, and many shops, restaurants and businesses have been closed due to Hurricane Sandy, which is very unfortunate.  Hopefully some of the businesses in the area will be able to bounce back and re-open in the near future.

I would definitely come back to the Andaz Wall Street again.  Prices are significantly lower on the weekend, as the area is primarily focused on business during the week.
