LES
Industrial-chic boutique with a pop-culture art edge. Nightlife-forward, downtown-cool crowd. Think Andy Warhol, not white-glove formality.

Why It Matters
One of the first wave of true luxury boutiques to plant a flag on the Lower East Side. The building opened in 2008 and brought Blue Ribbon Sushi Izakaya — a serious, late-night Japanese restaurant — along with it. The art program alone (Friedlander, Halley, Warhol) is genuinely thoughtful for a hotel at this price point.
SIXTY LES is an 18-story, 136-room boutique on Allen Street — right on the seam where the Lower East Side meets the East Village. The design leans hard into downtown's art-world lineage: Lee Friedlander photographs glow from lightbox headboards, Peter Halley's paintings anchor the lobby, and the rooftop pool has an Andy Warhol portrait tiled into its floor. Rooms are compact by luxury-hotel standards, but the floor-to-ceiling windows and black mirrored walls make them feel anything but cramped. The hotel sets its own nightlife agenda with Make Believe, a rooftop social club with a retractable roof and a DJ lineup that runs until 3am — which is great if you're in your 20s and 30s, and less great if you need to be up early.
Where You'll Stay
10 room types available
Allen Suite
Named after the street the hotel sits on. Separate living room, soaking tub in addition to the rain shower, and a shared balcony for city views. A comfortable step up from the Junior Suite for guests who want a bit more breathing room.
1 KingCorner Skyline Suite
Corner positioning gives this suite a wide-angle skyline perspective. Private terrace, two full baths, and a separate seating area. The queen bed is a bit unusual at this size — worth noting if a king is non-negotiable.
1 QueenDouble Queen Studio
At 415–450 sq ft, this is one of the few rooms that genuinely sleeps four. Same design DNA — floor-to-ceiling windows, mirrored walls, slate shower — just with more floor space and a seating area.
2 QueensEmpire Terrace
The big draw here is the private outdoor terrace with direct views of the Empire State Building. Floor-to-ceiling windows inside and a well-equipped bathroom with rain shower. Good option for those who want outdoor space without going all-in on a suite.
1 KingJunior Suite
Popular upgrade that gets you a proper seating area and sofa bed on top of the standard room features. Frequently cited in reviews as a great-value step up. Still compact by suite standards, but the layout makes the space feel more intentional.
1 KingKing Studio
Same footprint and design as the Queen Studio — industrial-chic aesthetic with floor-to-ceiling windows, custom lightbox headboard, and slate bathroom. The king bed makes it more comfortable for couples.
1 KingKing Suite
Glass corner balcony, sleek black mirrored walls, frosted-glass slate shower, and a lounge area with floor-to-ceiling windows. At 665 sq ft this is one of the roomier options in the building and handles longer stays well.
1 KingOrchard Suite
At 1,200 sq ft with two full baths, a private terrace, and a private elevator, this is the hotel's statement suite for guests who want true separation from the rest of the building. The Orchard Street-facing terrace makes for a solid downtown perch.
1 KingQueen Studio
Entry-level room and one of the larger standards you'll find in NYC at this price. Floor-to-ceiling windows, black mirrored walls, and a Lee Friedlander lightbox headboard. Slate shower with rain head, Frette robes, and a fully stocked minibar.
1 QueenSixty Loft
The penthouse. Two floors, private elevator, and at 2,000 sq ft it's a different class of accommodation entirely. The bi-level layout with private terrace sits at the top of the 18-story building — this is where the big Manhattan views live.
