Editor's note
The Hotel Indigo Lower East Side boasts a stunning rooftop outdoor pool with impressive views of the New York City skyline. While access can be restrictive and costly, the pool itself offers a vibrant atmosphere, especially when the associated Mr. Purple bar is in full swing. This is a destination pool, but be sure to confirm availability and access details before booking, as construction closures have occurred.
Pool details confirmed against the hotel's own website plus at least one independent source. No editor has visited in person. Booking links may earn us a commission; they never influence the ranking order.
