People go to the bar at the W regardless of whether they are guests of the hotel - the bar is an attraction on its own. That was what Hotel Monroe offered, and what another boutique or lifestyle brand would have offered. Nobody is going to dress up for a night out at the Hilton Garden Inn bar.

I was merely suggesting that Hilton Garden Inn was apparently A) trying to become more of a "downtown" brand and B) was also trying to be seen as a "boutique" hotel.
The room rate was just an aside that had caught me by surprise. Said nothing about the "actual attraction due to its status/on-site bars, restaurants, etc." - not an area that I'm competent enough to comment about.
