Thompson LES Hotel
190 Allen Street, New York City, NY, USA
Neighborhood: Manhattan - Lower East Side
Check availability as rates may vary for dates. Best rate guaranteed.
Over the last few decades the center of gravity of hipness in New York has tracked steadily to the south and east. And given how long these things take to make, it’s natural that only just now are we beginning to see high-end boutique hotels on the Lower East Side — among the first wave, the Thompson LES, on Allen just south of Houston.
This being Manhattan, space is at a premium. Everything’s modestely sized but impeccably designed, and packed with all the necessities — very much in keeping with the Thompson aesthetic. It’s an approach that works particularly well here; this is still the Lower East Side, and anything more upmarket would simply be overkill, in a neighborhood where most of the hotels are residential ones.
It’s uncharted territory for hotels, perhaps, but familiar ground for nightlife. The Thompson doesn’t just take advantage of the local buzz, it aims to contribute its own: the new flagship restaurant is Blue Ribbon Sushi Iyazaka, a Japanese tavern serving sushi and drinks into the wee hours, and Above Allen, the open-air bar with the retractable roof, is bound to become a downtown fixture for members and hotel guests. And when the weather agrees, an outdoor pool bears the visage of none other than Andy Warhol — not many other downtown hotels can say something like that.
Please note: The outdoor pool at Thompson LES operates seasonally and is closed during the winter months.

What I liked:
We were in room 1200 - one of the corner rooms with balcony overlooking the city. Gorgeous views and the bedroom was a very good size.
What the hotel could do better:
The bathroom is very functional and the shower is great, but there were just the right amount of towels and they were quite small. There were no hooks or rails to hang them up which was annoying.

What I liked:
Please note: I stayed at this hotel during hurricane Sandy. The staff was amazing. Most of us guests were stranded. The hotel lost power, hot water, internet, and there was no cell service in the neighborhood. The staff moved into the hotel. There was complimentary food, and every effort was made to keep us comfortable and informed. They had a generator, so they rigged a TV in the lounge, and set up a power strip so we could all charge our phones. They got the wifi going in the lounge after a day or so....
I can't emphasize enough how great they were during a very tough time!
What the hotel could do better:
Nothing, had a wonderful stay!
