We used 50 Bowery as our wedding block hotel and I cannot tell you how helpful Leah Gabel and the entire team at 50 Bowery were. The hotel is stunning and they did everything they could to make our stay super special as well as our guests. We will definitley be back - possibly one year anniversary. The hotel is super modern, has everything you could need including the breathtaking roof terrace.

We wish we could give Hotel 50 Bowery a better review but honestly, our experience was mediocre at best. They are quite unresponsive, initially we had inquired about using them as a possible wedding venue; we used their website to contact them, emailed them directly and even called the hotel. No one got back to us until a few months later…when we had already booked a venue. However, we gave them another chance and decided to use them as our room block. The hotel itself is nice and modern and it is in a good location. Once we were connected with someone, things went a bit smoother, up until a few weeks before the wedding. I think they’re going through a transitional period (I believe they either got acquired by Hyatt or joined with them?) A lot of the rooms under the block got lost during this period, we were able to add them back to the block. But all of the perks of a room block with the hotel were unable to be honored because the rooms were booked with Hyatt directly, which wasn’t a huge deal since we weren’t staying there ourselves. The final breaking points came the week of the wedding. We had been transferred over to another person to be in charge of the block. There seemed to be a lot of miscommunication. I had shipped items for welcome bags to the hotel (after getting an okay from them) and there was a lot of trouble locating them. They even accidentally gave away my water bottles, although they replaced them. In addition, the groom’s parents who were the first to check in, did not receive the welcome bags after I was reassured everything will go smoothly moving forward. At this point, I’m not even sure the remainder of the guests received their bags. I think overall Hotel 50 Bowery is a nice hotel, the staff there seemed friendly the times I’ve visited. There just seems to be a lot of kinks to work out and it was frustrating at times to work with them. I think they do have a lot of potential in the future once the transitional period is over.
