As the tallest building in the area, the Hotel on Rivington boasts unparalleled views of Manhattan, seen through the floor-to-ceiling windows that comprise the building’s monochromatic and modern façade. The entrance—a futuristic, egg-shaped tunnel designed by industrial designer Marcel Wanders—pays homage to the creative energy of the Lower East Side. The resident restaurant Thor complements the airy nature of the hotel, with a sleek, modern design and a large skylight.
