The Battery

My husband and I stayed one night for honeymoon- nothing special- questioning how it is considered a luxury hotel. Parking hard to find and not included, nearest one 50$ overnight. Also charged for things not used in mini bar. Dinner was okay, the portions were lacking.

The hotel is very cool. Great ambience and cool vibe. But part of the reason that it is cool is that hotel doubles as a members club which has its own set of rules that apply equally to hotel guests. For example, One such rule is you can’t use your laptop in common areas after 5. So despite being in the heart of the financial district, hotel guess can find themselves without a place to use their laptops (for work or any other reason) outside their rooms. I found kind of shocking for a $1,000 a night hotel and certainly not what I (for one) was expecting when I booked it. But whether is an issue for you all depends on what you are looking for.

So the Battery is a pretty cool place. We enjoyed the pub crawl, playing pool, the drinks and food were great. BUT... The Battery is located right next to a Waymo parking lot (self driving taxi's). These cars start making beeping noises and a really loud horn honking about every 3-5 minutes starting at 4am. This continues until about 8am. The lack of sleep really put a damper on an otherwise great trip. I'm sure we are not the first people to have this experience, since it happed all three nights. There should have been some kind of warning, especially when your spending over $1,000 per night. Disappointed

The Battery is a trendy and hip place with multiple bars and restaurants plus a gym, spa and hotel facilities. The service was very good and we had an excellent lunch. There are also outdoor dining and place to do casual work. Great location in the financial district.

The attention to detail in this place is off the charts. Amazing private rooms for events and the staff goes the extra mile to ensure that your group has a fantastic and enjoyable time. I had the honor of capturing photos from several events at this venue including indoor and outdoor settings. Highly recommend this location for your next event!
