About W New York - Downtown

Situated at 123 Washington Street in the heart of Manhattan's Financial District, the W New York Downtown project once stood as a multi-use tower combining hotel, residences, and distinctive social spaces. While the hotel closed in 2020 and the building has since rebranded, the property's storied history as a hub for film nights, artist residencies, and notable appearances remains a part of NYC’s cultural fabric. This page provides an insider overview of the venue’s past spaces, practical access information, and nearby accommodations and dining options to help you plan informed visits or events in the area.

Note: The current status focuses on the building’s legacy and surrounding amenities. Always verify current access details with local resources or partner channels when planning a visit or event in the Financial District.

As you plan your visit in Lower Manhattan, consider nearby transit options and parking options to simplify logistics. While the original W Downtown spaces like the Living Room lounge and BLT Bar & Grill are part of the venue’s history, the surrounding neighborhood offers modern equivalents for dining, nightlife, and corporate events. We’ve highlighted affiliate hotel and restaurant recommendations to help secure convenient, comfortable options that suit a range of itineraries.

  • Transit: Lower Manhattan is served by multiple subway lines (e.g., 2/3, A/C, 4/5), city buses, and ferries to the Battery Park and Brookfield Place areas. Consider ride-sharing as a flexible option during peak hours.
  • Parking: On-site residential parking historically existed within the building. For visitors, nearby garages and public lots in the Financial District provide multiple options. Check current rates and accessibility before you go.
  • Nearby hotels: While the W Downtown brand has shifted, a range of nearby hotels offer convenient stays, with affiliate partners providing exclusive rates. Look for options within walking distance to Washington Street and the broader FiDi corridor.
  • Nearby dining: The Financial District and Tribeca offer a variety of dining experiences. Our affiliate partners can connect you with trusted restaurants for pre-event meals or post-show gatherings.

If you’re seeking to host a future event in the area, you’ll find a wealth of professional spaces and venue partners in Lower Manhattan who can accommodate corporate meetings, receptions, and cultural happenings with easy access to mass transit and amenities.
