Editorial take
Who should book SIXTY SoHo?
If this is your first New York trip, shortlist SIXTY SoHo for a practical reason: Couples, quiet luxury, design, repeat visitors. The name, star rating and lobby photos matter, but the real test is whether the location helps your days feel easier.
It is less compelling if you want family rooms, facilities or value. Before booking from the UK, compare the final price after taxes and property fees, check the exact room setup and make sure your airport arrival route is not needlessly awkward.

Hotel facts
What to know before booking.
First-timer context
Why SIXTY SoHo might feel special.
What it is known for
- The hotel opened in 2001 as 60 Thompson and was the flagship property for the Thompson brand.
- When the partnership behind Thompson Hotels ended, Jason Pomeranc kept the building but gave up the Thompson name, which is why it now trades as SIXTY SoHo.
- The renovation was designed by Tara Bernerd & Partners, the British firm, aiming for a discreet rather than showy feel.
New York moments
- A60, the seasonal rooftop bar, has been one of SoHo's harder-to-access rooftops for two decades.
- The restaurant is run by the New York restaurateur John McDonald.
On screen
- The hotel built its reputation on privacy rather than publicity.
Review questions
What travellers keep asking.
Is this the old 60 Thompson?
Yes. It opened in 2001 as 60 Thompson and was the original Thompson Hotels property. The name changed when the partnership behind the brand broke up, but the building and owner did not.
Can guests use the A60 rooftop?
It is seasonal and has long operated with restricted access, which is part of its appeal. Confirm the arrangement for your dates rather than assuming it is open to all guests.

For New York, room size, bathroom privacy, bed type and storage can matter more than star rating.
