hotel gansevoort, New York City…luxury in the meatpacking district

We could not have had a more perfect weekend. We needed a little getaway here at Girlfriendbooks and weeks out, we are still daydreaming over our time spent at the Hotel Gansevoort. We can’t say enough good things about our stay here – location, comfort, luxuriousness, amenities, view…the Hotel Gansevoort has it all! From the moment we checked in, until our sad departure, everything about this hotel was perfect. (Our personal favorite touches…the steam bath/shower; rooftop bar; beautiful view and balcony, meatpacking district location, happy hour at the plunge lounge.)

If you truly want a place to stay in NYC that is unforgettable, visit the hotel gansevoort.

tired of spending a small fortune on razors?
not to even mention how tired we are of shaving! we were perusing the alarming cost of some of the women's disposable razors out there. we wonder what the price tag yearly is to purchase disposable razors that end up in a landfill? well, every day we get closer to a solution and the state of the art home method of hair removal is this wonderful item: […]
