Grand central.

Union square w ftw

The Times Square traffic near the W is too much. Go for the Westin.

W on Lexington

Grand central. I've stayed at most of the spg hotels in NY (except st Regis) and the westin grand central is the only one with "normal" room sizes. Plus, rooms tend to be quiet, too.

Westin grand central... Assuming you mean w Lexington, which imo is shit apart from blue whisky (which isn't a terrible place to hang out). I would pick w times square in the same area over both though, despite the times square bustle

Whisky blue*

Westin is way better. W rooms are really small and the bathrooms barely exist.

Thanks all. I was referring to the W on Lexington for clarification
