SIXTY Lower East Side

If there are two words to describe the SIXTY Lower East Side, it's haute minimalism with an artful spirit to boot. The rooftop pool has Andy Warhol's face plastered to the bottom, and glowing headboards from designer Lee Friedlander adorn each room. Speaking of the rooms, they're small, but have you noticed that's kind of a trend in itself? The important thing is that they're clean, nicely decorated and provide the perfect launching off point for a weekend exploring the city. The surrounding Lower East Side (say LES if you want to fit in) is a hotbed for activity, from live music venues and hopping bars, to top-notch restaurants and cafes.
