Moxy Lower East Side

145 Bowery, New York, NY 10002

A Playful Twist on New York Flair.

In the heart of the vibrant Lower East Side, where history and modernity collide, lies Moxy NYC Lower East Side. This hotel is an ode to the neighborhood that once housed artists, musicians, and rebels—a place where the unexpected is always just around the corner.

Inside, a stylish and playful interior blurs the line between retro and cutting-edge. The rooms are cleverly designed: compact yet surprisingly functional, with smart storage solutions and sleek decor. Here, efficiency meets comfort in the most creative way.

Culinary experiences at Moxy are an attraction in themselves. From modern Japanese flavors at Sake No Hana to the speakeasy vibes of Silver Lining Lounge, where live music and inventive cocktails set the scene. The Fix is perfect for a quick bite or coffee on the go, while Loosie’s pulls you into the night with energetic beats and an underground atmosphere.

The ultimate highlight—literally and figuratively—is The Highlight Room, the rooftop bar on the 16th floor. With panoramic skyline views, a glass enclosure, and a majestic tree at its center, it feels like a secret garden floating above the city.

Moxy NYC Lower East Side is playful, rebellious, and full of surprises. A place where you experience the real New York—unexpected, dynamic, and always a little different from what you imagined.

SUMMIT One Vanderbilt

The not-to-be-missed novelty in New York is undoubtedly SUMMIT One Vanderbilt. A platform at a height of 310 m may not be exceptional in Manhattan. What is unique is Kenzo Digital's interactive art installation SUMMIT AIR, with glass and mirrors above, beside and below you.

Daredevils step onto the glass ledges above Madison Avenue in SUMMIT LEVITATION. In the AFFINITY space with silver balloons, your experience will be playful and interactive. Go a little higher still from the 91st to the 93rd floor and step outside onto the terrace. In clear weather, you can see as far as 100 km.

Evening cruise on the Hudson River

Experience the magic of an evening cruise on the Hudson River, where you'll be enveloped by a gentle sea breeze and admire the magnificent spectacle of the illuminated skylines of Manhattan, New Jersey and Brooklyn. This unique experience takes on its full meaning in the golden hour, when the evening sun bathes the surroundings in a warm glow.

The magic continues as you sail under the impressive BMW bridges (Brooklyn, Manhattan and Williamsburg), each with its own architectural splendor that is even more impressive at night. The return to port, in the lively Midtown district, adds an extra touch of relaxation and satisfaction to this two-hour cruise, departing daily at 7 p.m.

50 Bowery

A boutique hotel in the middle of Chinatown? Yes it does exist... This brand new establishment at the foot of the Manhattan Bridge at the crossroads of the oldest but now the trendiest districts of the Big Apple: Soho, Lower East Side, Tribeca and Brooklyn. Several metro stations within 500 meters will take you to the 4 corners of Manhattan and Brooklyn in no time. It was the elements of the old Chinatown that served as inspiration for the design while modern decor touches reflect modern Chinatown. The oak-floored rooms are flooded with light from huge windows and decorated with works of art from the New York art scene. Treat yourself and book a room with a view of the Skyline (Midtown) or the city (Lower East Side and Manhattan Bridge), at an additional cost. And the icing on the cake is The Crown, the lounge-terrace on the 21st floor with a magnificent view of the Manhattan skyline.

Gild Hall

The Gild Hall is a perfect reflection of the neighborhood. Leather, parquet floors, deer antlers, shelves covered with books; the décor signed by Jim Walrod gives it the air of an English club. A mini-bar filled with delicacies from Dean & Deluca, a beautiful walk-in shower and a Frette bathrobe further underline the trendy side of the rooms. A little push back from a discovery expedition? The Library Lounge cocktails will give you a boost... unless you prefer to savor an Italian grand cru at La Soffitta before succumbing to the authentic Tuscan cuisine of Felice!
