If I told you I’m not big on pools, would you hold it against me…? (I’ll be at the poolside bar.)
Honey, I’m home!
Check in.
Hello suite.
The terrace is calling me.
HELLO NYC!!!
I’m so full.
I don’t watch TV unless the Real Housewives of New York City are on.
Maybe I’ll sit and read the comped Flaunt or Time Out Magazine
I’m still hungry.
LOL!
Mirror mirror on the wall...
Bath time!
Actually, the bed is calling me…
Hello heaven...
CUTE LIGHT!
Maybe I should do some work.
Maybe I should take a quick nap.
Goodnight.
Good morning.
WHERE’S MY COFFEE.
Maybe I’ll just take another picture of this couch.
Highs & Lows
-
I stayed in a sleek and minimal designed king suite terrace. Spacious! Quiet! Amazing city views via the private outdoor terrace. PS Get your room service on -- there’s two lounge chairs and a table outside.
-
There were two LCD flat-screen TVs…?! One in the bedroom, and another directly on the other side like eight steps away in the living room. Unnecessary but awesome!
-
A big bath!
-
Cool designs. Loved the industrial-ish lights in the bedroom. Loved the funky albeit comfy furniture. Loved the natural light during the day. Even loved the glowing headboard -- thought it would keep me up at night, but super calming.
-
The bed, while big, was a bit too hard for me. Great pillows and comforter/sheets though.

Designed By
Seems like a lot were involved. According to their site, Lee Friedlander made those (really cool and somehow calming) glowing bed headboards; Jim Walrod was the man behind the interior design elements.
-
Health & Wellness
Yes. And the *guest only* pool is always quite the *cool kid* destination in the summer. Very Instagram-friendly. See also: Andy Warhol’s visage looks up from the pool’s bottom.
-
Restaurant
Blue Ribbon Sushi Izakaya. It was too crowded (Friday night) and I’m broke, so I opted for a Vietnamese hole-in-the-wall.
-
Bar
Yes, the very popular rooftop bar AKA Tiki Tabu replete with “tongue-in-cheek tropical flair” and “lush tropical plants” etc etc. TT host tons of fashion-y parties and book cool DJ’s.
-
Minibar
Popchips, Clif bars, bacon popcorn. (Also, a designer condom.) Then there’s alcohol, vitamin waters, etc. But it’s all about the can of RISE Nitro cold brew coffee. So strong, so good.
-
Children
No please.
-
Price
What you’d expect from a modern and luxe LES-located hotel. (Expensive.)
