Scene
A chain hotel popular with business travelers and families
The Sheraton is a popular pick among business travelers for its convenient location on the border of the Central Business District and its many business-oriented services and amenities. The huge lobby, with soaring floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking Canal Street and a bar offering drinks and food well into the evening, is always busy with travelers in town for business.Rates are similar to those of comparable business hotels in the area, but the features -- including the rooftop pool and the great gym -- make this a somewhat more attractive pick for some travelers. Rooms are spacious and contemporary, if more business-oriented than stylish.For a few extra conveniences, guests might want to consider upgrading to the Club Level, which offers free continental breakfast, free evening hors d’oeuvres, free Internet access, and free beverages in the Club Lounge, located on the 42nd floor and offering stunning river and city views.
