A60 Hotel Bar / Lounge / Rooftop Bar

SoHo, New York –

A jewel box-sized lounge atop the bohemian chic 60 Thompson Hotel, A60 is a tiny, members-only hotspot where the views of New York are rivaled only by the stylish patrons.

Entrance is mainly limited to hotel guests and card-carrying members, though mere mortals can gain access on Mondays based on availability.

Split into two distinct sections, the larger side of the rooftop is strewn with potted trees, teak wood tables, and cream duvets and couches, where trendy downtowners and savvy tourists indulge in specialty drinks like the Lychee Martini and Passion Fruit Margaritas.

Dapper finance types sidle up to the nearby bar to chat with Louboutin-wedged girls, all the while plying them with cucumber vodkas served up by staff in outfits as alluring as some of the patrons’.

The other side of the space is more intimate, with more lush greenery and upscale patio furniture, where groups of touring businessmen and young well-dressed couples on dates can kick off a chill evening.

Music is usually low – it’s hardly a place for raging dance offs – so amped-up Euro party girls are not often found here, but the relaxed vibe helps keep the focus on the sweeping views of Manhattan and the Empire State Building looming in the distance.

An outdoor oasis for anyone looking to rise above SoHo, A60 still draws well-heeled locals years after opening, promising ASexy crowd and ASultry night.
