The Thompson Lower East Side is a luxury boutique hotel located in the Manhattan's coolest district. Renowned for its creative scene the Lower East Side is the place to be seen and the Thompson's is the place to stay. Designed by Ed Rawlings and with interiors by Jim Walrod there is very much a contemporary feel throughout with an edge of New York's iconic industrialism.
