Editor's note
The Dream Downtown boasts a unique outdoor pool that transforms into a lively beach club, offering a vibrant escape in the heart of Manhattan. While the adult-focused atmosphere and adjacent bar create a distinct social scene, families with children will find their pool access restricted to limited morning hours. The pool area provides ample lounging space, contributing to its resort-like feel, though some guests have noted the water can be cold and the area occasionally crowded.

What guests say about the pool
In their own words
Even though it’s winter and the pool was closed, the balcony overlooking the pool still added a really fun, resort-like vibe in the middle of Manhattan.
If you're looking for a trendy hotel in an amazing location with a vibe, then you'll feel like a winner at the Dream Downtown, a Hyatt property in New York City. Nestled between the uber-cool Meatpacking District and fashionable Chelsea neighborhoods, the hotel offers quirky, yet luxurious rooms and a great pool.
I was initially concerned about noise based on other reviews, but my assigned inward-facing suite (combined with the pool being closed for the season) made it one of the quietest rooms I have stayed in within Manhattan.
