Empire Hotel: NYC's Perfect Hangout

There are many places to hangout in NYC, but not many where you can do star sightings at the same time.

The Empire Hotel is one location where you can always spot a celebrity in a chill atmosphere.

The hotel has become the unofficial headquarters of Hollywood's finest. During fashion week, fashionista's and A-listers spent most of their time at the hotel lobby and bar.

Why do stars love this hotel? The super posh and comfy couches in the hotel lobby can be a start. I once spotted power publicist Kelly Cutrone lounging on it for hours.

Singer Kerri Hilson, Gabrielle Union, Sophia Bush and Jennifer Love Hewitt have all made the Empire Hotel their stomping ground.

So what's my favorite part of the hotel? The rooftop bar, which is an amazing spot to hangout with friends in the summer time.

Did I mention that the Empire Hotel is a great place to stay as well? The rooms are super chic and spacious, which is hard to find in NYC.
