Michelin Guide "The Hotel on Rivington, a 21-story gleaming glass tower, is the haute hippie's hotel of choice."
Concierge "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."
Fodor's "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
Insight Guides "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."
