Of all the areas you could stay in New York City, the Lower East Side is perhaps one of the coolest. With a wide range of specialty boutiques and incredible eateries in the district, it’s one of the city’s hottest areas both for locals and visitors.

Consider SIXTY LES: a collaborative effort in the hotel experience, bringing together the best in design, art and amenities under one roof. The hotel was designed by Ed Rawlings Architects, with interiors by Jim Waldrod, and features incredible artwork throughout the public spaces as well as rooms and suites.

This 141-room luxury hotel, spread across 19 storeys, redefines modern luxury when it comes to hotels. Remarkably spacious no matter what your price point, each room features floor-to-ceiling windows, over-sized terrycloth robes, high-end linens, modern design and every amenity a traveler could want.

Want to hang poolside? In addition to being a welcome retreat from the city’s hustle and bustle, the rooftop pool features some of New York’s coolest classic and signature cocktails as well as small plates from Blue Ribbon Sushi Izakaya.

Blue Ribbon has quickly become one of the city’s top spots for Japanese fare. The 150-seat restaurant does much more than fresh, mouth-watering sushi — it also features family-style dishes as well as Yakitori, all set in a warm yet modern interior. Above Allen, meanwhile, is a great spot to chill out, grab a drink, and check out the incomparable views of the city skyline.

The SIXTY LES spa may not be the biggest in Manhattan, but it’s surely one of the most luxurious and relaxing. From a workout in the fitness center to a sweat in the sauna, a massage, facial or other form of treatment, it’s the ultimate in self-care.
