The Press Say
"Views are the draw here: the high-rise building towers over the surrounding tenements and has floor-to-ceiling windows that provide an eyeful of the Empire State Building and the Brooklyn, Williamsburg and Manhattan bridges." Conde Nast (UK)
"Thor is the tongue-in-cheek acronym for this 21-storey glass tower, and it certainly has godlike portions of street cred." Times 07
Reviews
Review of Hotel on Rivington, by Josie van der Schaaf
Hotel on Rivington is a 21-storey glass tower, notable for an offbeat location in New York and for stunning views. Location-wise, it's in the Lower East Side, in what's meant to be the new Meatpacking District, located within walking distance of SoHo, Tribeca, Little Italy and Chinatown. The hotel calls it's neighbourhood 'a hip and historic area that has arrived.' It has a vibey, exciting, up-and-coming feel, but it's not for people who don't have a head for urban grit.
The views, though, are among the best in New York. It's the tallest building in the area and you can see Manhattan, the rivers and beyond. All rooms in the Hotel on Rivington have fantastic views and they get better and better further up (and the room types and rate scale) you go. The restaurant and lounge are on the ground floor. The restaurant is very cool in black and white, with a soaring atrium in yet more glass.
The 110 rooms are bigger than the average and simple and minimalist in style, with white Frette linens and Tempur-Pedic mattresses. Rooms vary in layout and features: some have balconies, some have bathrooms with Japanese-inspired, oversized soaking tubs or glassed-in shower stalls with heady views. All rooms offer plush Italian robes and bath amenities by Davines, deluxe minibars, flat screen television, iHome stereo systems and complimentary WiFi, and all bathrooms have heated floors.
Room types at are broken down into regular, medium (both king bed or two doubles), large (mainly corner units with king beds) and unique. These last all have a special feature: perhaps a private terrace, or a corner all-glass bathroom, or a three-person steam shower. The Owner's Suite, which extends all along the front of the 17th floor, is loft-style with lots of space. It includes a kitchenette, walk-in closet, super-luxurious bathrooms and separate bedrooms - of the course the owner is sometimes in it, so its available by request only.
The Hotel on Rivington's Penthouse is outrageous: a vast duplex suite, designed by Zaha Hadid, completely glassed in for yet more views. The mezzanine bedroom has a fireplace, and there's also a fireplace, a Jacuzzi and an outdoor shower on the landscaped rooftop. Other luxurious goodies are scattered around - plasma screens, a tub big enough for a couple. You can have 125 people to a cocktail party here, or just two people for a weekend of Jay Mcinerney-style decadence.
