PH 2502 at West 57th Street, a Hilton Club (1BR Penthouse)

No private balcony attached to the suite (there is a shared one on the floor), so this is an evening view from the living room. Radio City Music Hall (pink neon sign) and the top of the Empire State Building lit up at night.

Love those units. There are only 2 in the building with a balcony. Only owners can reserve these because booked during owners res. window.

We owned 3701 penthouse which faced south to the ocean and east towards diamond head, however we didn't like the wall that split the dining table and the family room so we switched to an 11 unit at it seemed more open to us. You get the diamond head ocean view and then also a view to the north. You lose the big fancy master bathroom but you are in Hawaii all that space is wasted. We love the the unit we have 3811 now. The penthouses are awesome and we take our time in the morning knowing we can go down to the lounge load up some great breakfast food on the tea trays and head back to the room and everyone can spread out.

We’ve stayed in 3601 and we kinda felt the same way about the split wall. Does anyone have pictures or description of the views for an 02 Penthouse room? Will there be any view obstruction from the Tapa tower?

We initially checked in one time for a non home week and were in an 02 unit and we said nope get us out of there and they put us in the 01 unit. Yes the Tapa tower is there. Not a fan of the 02 units. You still get the south view but to your right on the balcony is the Tapa. To me for 3BR you want either the 02 unit (which you have a tighter eating area, but great views directly south and east towards diamond head) or the 11 units which have the East view towards diamond head (but the ARC of view you have you really see South and East) and north views from the second balcony. To us the 11 units are the best. If you don't need 3BR don't sleep on the 2BR units that are on the same side as the 11 and 01 units. Very nice as well.

Bummer you didn't get a higher floor, but a nice view none the less. At least you got the building closer to the ocean. Enjoy your vacation!

That palm is long overdue for being treated with a machete ;) Other than that, it's all good, the North Tower is king! Thanks. I'll post unit pics, surrounding area and a review after a couple days.
