"A sleek and sexy boutique hotel, that’s favoured by socialites for its hip Kittichai restaurant and tranquil, Oriental interior."
60 Thompson is one of our New York favourites. The luxury hotel is beautifully designed in a calm, Asian-fusion style. It attracts a glamorous clientele to stay and an uber-hip NY socialite crowd to the bar and restaurant. Despite this rather intimidating reputation, it still manages to feel very inviting. It’s also nicely located on a pretty street (by NY standards, anyway), surrounded by chic boutiques and restaurants.
The facilities
The luxury hotel restaurant, Kittichai, is downstairs, giving the rest of the place a more private feel. Kittichai is stylish and welcoming, with candles floating in a pool, swathes of Thai silk, a few streetside tables and a hint of Feng Shui in the air. (Lucky coins are taped under many of the tables). There’s a downstairs bar, too, though the real action happens in Thom, upstairs, where people gather in little private seating areas. And only 60 Thompson guests and the hippest of the hip get to go upstairs to A60 (above 60, geddit), the rooftop terrace, open in summer months only.
The rooms
The 100 rooms at 60 Thompson are larger than average for New York. They echo the calm style of the luxury hotel, quite plain, with lots of luscious dark woods and full-wall suede headboards. There are retro-classic touches in the woodblock bedside lamps and the furniture in the suites. The suites also come with desks big enough to actually work at.
The duplex penthouse loft in 60 Thompson is gorgeous, with its own private garden terrace. Details are excellent throughout: good linens, Dean & Deluca goodies to eat, brownies at turndown. Bathrooms have marble mosaics, spacious shower stalls and products by Fresh.
