"The Hotel on Rivington, a 21-story gleaming glass tower, is the haute hippie's hotel of choice."
"The design here is in sync with the area's other new tenants: monochromatic and modern, with floor-to-ceiling transparent walls that allow the city streets to become part of the design."
"This glass-walled hotel on the Lower East Side is still a go-to choice, especially if being in the thick of the neighborhood's nightlife and dining action is a priority." Full review
"Guests who wish to enjoy the nearby clubs and restaurants can surround themselves with chic style and, from the upper floors, movie-worthy views of the city."
"The ‘unique’ rooms have enviable views over the East River and downtown’s sprawl, along with hanging flat-screen TVs." Full review
Upscale
"The Hotel on Rivington is a secretive hot spot for well-heeled travelers who like their neighborhoods cool and their thread counts high." Full review
"A high-design (and high-profile) herald of change in a once-grubby neighborhood, the glass-façaded Rivington soars above the old brick tenements of the Lower East Side." Full review
"Even the glass-enclosed showers have a view in this chic, 21-story tower offering oversize rooms with floor-toceiling windows and a 360-degree vista."
"Rooms are super-sleek and minimalist, with black-and-white decorative touches, Frette bed linen and robes, and floor-to-ceiling windows that offer views of Manhattan and beyond." Full review
"The public spaces are futuristic to the point of Space Age. But, worry not, that doesn't mean the hotel is in any way cold."
