Worth it for if you've only got a day, couples and solo travellers; not for families with kids.

The location trade-off

What you're near — and what you're not

Walkable
  • The High Line and the Whitney Museum
  • Meatpacking and West Village nightlife
  • Chelsea galleries
Cut off from
  • Midtown core (~15–20 min)
  • Quiet — the area is busy and loud at night
Rooms & rate

What you're paying for

Rooms are compact but view-forward, from entry tiers to corner rooms; rates are typically room-only, with rooftop and dining separate. The catch is noise and the scene — the building is a destination, so request a higher, quieter floor if you want to sleep.

Why we say this

Insider secrets & local vibes

The floor-to-ceiling windows deliver some of the best in-room Hudson and skyline views in the city.
Not independently verified — estimated
Le Bain and the rooftop are destinations in their own right, and the High Line and Meatpacking nightlife are at the door.
Not independently verified — estimated
The party reputation means it can be loud, and the social scene isn't for everyone — light sleepers should look elsewhere.

What it feels like

Reading the room, traveller by traveller

  • With friends

    A built-in nightlife base with a rooftop you don't have to leave the building for.

  • Couples

    Book a high floor for the views, but know the vibe skews social rather than serene.
