The problem with staying at One King West is you don't get a view OF One King West. Great pics.

Did you get to ride in the 1KW Rolls Royce?

Nice shots, Harls! You're lucky to have actually had a room with a view outside instead of inside to the atrium. Did you have a chance to get to the fitness centre level? They have an outdoor viewing area that is quite impressive.

Nice images, and you got a shot at the Mets new LED lights. Nice rooms at 1 King West don't you think?

The rooms were awesome. Small, but I didn't need much more since I was alone and it was for work.

Ken, I didn't know they had an atrium there. My room was on the 33rd floor.. I bypassed everything..only stayed there to sleep.

Some shots of the room I stayed in:





man, I look like I'm pregnant in that pic.





hard to believe there were 16 floors above me..

The buttons in the lift look quasi-cheap (the tacked on parts)!

They're standard elevator buttons. The elevators in my old building just got renovated and they have the exact same buttons.

Hey Harls, my wife and I also stayed at one King West (42nd floor executive suite) for a romantic getaway in August (Cirque de Soleil, etc.). Our view looked out over the east and the Lake.

Awesome! One King West is definitely one of my favorite TO skyscrappers (if not my favorite).
