The W Hotel in Manhattan is attempting to channel the charm of camping with what it calls the "Extreme Wow Outdoor Glamping Suite," which offers guests the chance to doze off under the glow of skyscrapers and to the tune of Midtown's symphony of horns, sirens, and droning traffic—all for a $2,000-per-night sticker price.
Glamping—a portmanteau of glamorous and camping—is a tony way to enjoy the outdoors. Think beds in lieu of sleeping bags; cabins instead of tents; fashionable furniture in lieu of rickety folding chairs; artisanal charcuterie, not hot dogs.
The W suite, which opened July 13 and is available for reservations through November, embodies this ethos.
