MarriottMaritime waterfront tower
Rising over the Hudson, the tower channels Hoboken's industrial rail and dock history into a sociable riverfront hub.
“The refreshed W Hoboken offers waterfront views and is a short walk from the NJ transit station.”
What it’s good at

All the W signatures are in place, from the colorful and modernist-inspired design to the vibrant public spaces; rooms are decorated in graphic patterns and bold colors, while the spa and fitness offerings are extensive.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Riverfront walkways pass right outside the door, and Hoboken Terminal is three blocks south for PATH trains into Manhattan.

The rooms
Angled bay windows look across the Hudson, giving most rooms direct sightlines to the Manhattan skyline.
The spa and gym
Treatments at the Woodhouse Spa include Ayurvedic Shirodhara and Himalayan hot stone therapy, and the gym looks across the Hudson.
Restaurant
Halifax
Chef Seadon Shouse prepares Northeastern seafood like saffron lobster rigatoni, with tables set beneath green moss wall art.
W Hoboken occupies a 27-story metal-and-glass tower ... a sleek counterpoint to the brick-and-masonry low-rises lining the shore.
At the table
The curved Living Room bar serves craft cocktails under an illuminated drum canopy, surrounded by yellow leather stools.
How it began
Architects Gwathmey Siegel designed the 27-story glass wedge in 2009 as a sharp modern contrast to the historic waterfront.
“The main space, meanwhile, features double-height ceilings, a 20 ft long bar, flanked by a generous terrace on one side, and a sports-inspired den with a vintage pool table on the other.”
