"Guardian at the W is the first and only rooftop bar in the immediate Union Square area, arriving as part of the hotel's $100 million glow-up that was completed in the fall."
"The project's designers, AvroKO, looked to New York's art-and-nightlife heyday for inspiration, with a nod to the Warhol era but a cleaner, more refined finish."
"Guests arrive on the 21st floor, pass through a transitional space, then head up a graffiti-lined stairwell that ends at a gold-toned mural—a polished nod to the city's street culture."
"The rooftop itself has been built to flex with the seasons, featuring a flexible glass roof and climate control, allowing for a shift from early evening drinks to late-night energy."
Guardian at the W is a new rooftop bar located 22 stories above Union Square, part of a $100 million hotel renovation. It is the first rooftop bar in the area, designed by AvroKO, inspired by New York's art and nightlife. The arrival experience includes a graffiti-lined stairwell leading to a gold-toned mural. The rooftop features a climate-controlled indoor-outdoor layout, allowing year-round use. The menu, curated by restaurateur John McDonald and chef John Villa, includes cocktails like the Union Square Spritz and elevated food options.
