About W New York Union Square
Across from Union Square in Manhattan, at the northeast corner where Park Avenue South meets 17th Street, stands W New York Union Square. W Hotels runs it as a boutique hotel with 270 rooms on 21 stories. The building was first called the Germania Life Insurance Company Building. Joseph W. Yost and Albert D'Oench designed it, and it dates to 1911, in the Beaux-Arts style. Few major insurance "home office" buildings survive in New York City, and this is among them.
Germania Life Insurance Company first used the building as its headquarters. When the company became Guardian Life Insurance Company of America in 1917, the building took the Guardian name. A four-story annex on the east side, designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, was completed in 1961. Guardian moved its offices out in 1999, and the hotel opened a year later.
The Beaux-Arts tower has 21 stories, with the 18th through 21st inside the mansard roof, and its height is 88 m (290 feet). Its north side has a light court, which gives it a U-shaped footprint. The facade is mostly gray Concord granite mixed with brick, with a red Numidian-granite water table and a red Spanish-tile mansard roof. The city designated it a landmark in 1988, and the National Register of Historic Places listing followed in 2001.
