Standing 22 stories above New York’s Garment District, the Archer Hotel is as industrial-chic as its surrounding neighborhood, with glass-and-steel exteriors, exposed brick walls, and 180 guest rooms full of decor ranging from tufted leather headboards to subway-tile bathrooms. You can also expect tons of luxurious-meets-quirky touches, such as Malin+Goetz bath products and slippers embroidered with mustaches and lipstick kisses.
The hotel’s main appeal, however, lies outside of the rooms—specifically at the 22nd-floor Spyglass Rooftop Bar. Here you’ll find some of the city’s best views of the Empire State and Chrysler Buildings, plus signature cocktails like the Archer Palmer, a spin on the Arnold-classic made with black tea–infused gin, lemon, and simple syrup.
