The W LOFT — Attraction in New York

Would've given it 5-stars had it not been for the rude, unprofessional owner. He was giving other potential clients a tour of the space while his current patron had use of the place for their party! When renters purchase a space, it belongs to them for whatever block of time has been set. This includes the setup and breakdown times. NO ONE ELSE should be allowed to walk through that room unless they are guests of the renter, are hired to decorate or caterers suppling the food. The fact that he did that, then had the audacity to stand the in the middle of the room and give a full breakdown of the place, was not only disrespectful to the person that paid him, but to the vendors whose work he was prohibiting by being in the way. And, what if one of those inquirers had been ill. That is not only a safety violation, but you risked the health of your current clients, the vendors, and their staff as well! It is extremely irresponsible on his behalf. Also, the bathroom is unisex. That's a hard pass for me. However, to his credit, the space is absolutely beautiful and well kept! The surrounding neighborhood is clean, quiet, and filled with cozy restaurants. There's also the added bonus of a scenic view of the Manhattan from a rather large terrace area. Note to anyone wanting to rent that place - if someone (even if it is the owner) is violating your contract by bringing in strangers during your event, it's perfectly ok to say something. THAT'S YOUR TIME, and he has YOUR MONEY....

I visited the W Loft mid-September 2022 for an Engagement Party. I’m unsure of public transportation or parking in the area as I took an Uber to this location. When I arrived to the location and entered the building, I noticed the lights in the lobby area. Near the elevator there is a small sitting area with chairs and a patterned wall which is great for pictures. The event I was attending was up on the 4th floor/roof top. Keep in mind I was attending an event so I’m sure anyone can design/set up this area as they please. Since the event was on the roof top there were plenty of photo opportunities with the Manhattan Skyline in the background. The restrooms are gender neutral meaning there are individual stalls and then a sink area. I really like this because there was never a wait as it is sometimes in the ladies’ room. There is a main bar area on the inside and one was also set up on the outside rooftop area. There was also a coat room although we didn’t need it. This isn’t a large if your guest count is over 100-120 people it may be a tight fit unless you’re willing to give up room for the dance floor. If you’re looking to have an event, check the place out for yourself. A few of the vendors used for this event were DJ Fragg and...

We had our wedding here on October 30, 2022 in what ended up being a perfect fall day.

The Space: Soaring views of the Manhattan skyline framed perfectly by a sunset ceremony. Like most, we had our ceremony outside and the did the dinner and dancing inside. We had 68 people total and they fit comfortably. It was neither cramped nor empty. The single bar in the back provided more than enough coverage given our guest size. Also the four restrooms were clean and plentiful given the size of the venue.

The Team: Incredibly easy to work with, highly responsive, and not at all pretentious. They met all our needs, provided prompt responses, and were able to work with us on some last minute requests from our caterer re using extra equipment. Many vendors were familiar with both the space itself and the BK team, and we had no issues with set up or packing up. Pricing was fair, transparent, and there were no issues at any point.

All in all, the W loft delivered exactly what we were looking for. A blank space in NYC, an easy to work with team, big windows / bright lights, and the ability to bring in vendors with many different...
