On the Upper West Side, 171 upgraded rentals are being put on the market week by week over the next few months at the Windermere WestEnd, an apartment hotel at WestEnd Avenue and 92nd Street that has been through hard times.
In Boston's WestEnd sits the recently renovated (and renamed) 80-room The Boxer hotel, with its eclectic yet conservative decor of Old World antiques and cleverly modern fixtures.
