Local before arrival
The tall, obsidian edifice of the Thompson LES stands in sharp contrast to the neighboring red-brick tenements, and ushers the dilapidated Lower East Side into a new era. Staying true to the creative vibe of the neighborhood, the hotel embraces rock’n roll, contemporary art, and all nocturnal pursuits. On any given night, the hotel hosts parties in any one of its many social venues, from the dark wooden bar on the ground floor to the Andy Warhol-inspired rooftop pool.
