Gershwin Hotel

The Gershwin experience begins as soon as you walk into the Pop Art-bedecked lobby, a museum space unto itself that contains an actual Campbell's Soup Can by Andy Warhol, signed by the artist himself. The welcome continues at the front desk, where guests are greeted by the friendly, multinational staff, who between them boasts a formidable array of languages and smiles. A veritable arts festival unto itself, the Gershwin also boasts The Living Room, a separate performance space that features regular music, comedy, and theater performances. You can also read your E-mail in one of the two handy Internet kiosks.
