The Walker New York - LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION

In New York, New York — Location, Location, Location, is my mantra for picking a room in the Big Apple.  In that regard, nothing could be finer than the Walker Hotel in Greenwich Village – a location with history, character and culture.  Rather than a sterile city lobby, the Walker presents an elegant parlor decked out with comfy chairs, a welcoming fireplace, art deco wall-coverings, a library of early editions and original art.  You soon realize that you’ve discovered one of the Manhattan’s boutique gems.  Situated between 5th and 6th avenue on West 13th Street, its location is superb offering its guests history, character, culture and convenience.  Over a cappuccino in the hotel’s stellar eatery, the Society Cafe, I spoke with Sales Director Linda Bajraktari about the hotel and its iconic neighborhood.  For more information on the Walker go to WalkerHotel.com.

When you’re traveling where you stay becomes an important part of the experience.  Greg Kooser of House of Kooser is dedicated to making that experience a special one.  His company represents 27 boutique-style hotels worldwide. Over the years we’ve stayed at a number of his properties such as the Magic Castle Hotel in Hollywood, the Le Saint in Paris and the Bernic and Roger Smith Hotels in midtown Manhattan.  During our stay in New York at the collection’s Walker Hotel in Greenwich Village, a property that exudes luxury, style and hospitality, I spoke with him at Rosemary’s, a cool Italian bistro at 18 Greenwich Avenue, a short stroll from the Walker.  For more information on the House of Kooser go to HouseofKooser.com.
