New York City, New York, United States · SIXTY · Near Luxury
Andy Warhol looks up through the water of the seasonal pool, his face assembled from a Gerard Malanga filmstrip and fired into the tiles. Ed Rawlings designed the 19-story hotel in 2008 as Thompson LES, with Jim Walrod interiors and art by Lee Friedlander and Peter Halley; founder Jason Pomeranc carried it into his new SIXTY brand in 2014 rather than surrendering it with Thompson.

About SIXTY Lower East Side
- The 36-foot, guest-only pool serves food from Blue Ribbon Sushi Izakaya while Warhol's underwater portrait watches from the bottom.
- Lee Friedlander's black-and-white photographs from Apples and Olives appear in illuminated guest-room headboards, while a large Peter Halley color-field painting anchors the restaurant level.
- Rawlings Architects shaped the 141-room building around Allen and Orchard streets with exposed concrete, terracotta, basalt, dark wood, glass, and 5,000 square feet of terraces.
History
The hotel opened in 2008 as Thompson LES, one of the early boutique towers in the neighborhood. Jason Pomeranc retained it after leaving Thompson Hotels and relaunched it under the SIXTY name in 2014.
The setting
At 190 Allen Street by East Houston, the hotel stands where Allen Street meets the narrower scale of Orchard Street in the Lower East Side.
