Spyglass Rooftop Bar
At Archer Hotel New York · 22F
A rooftop bar on the 22nd floor with one of the more honest views of the Empire State Building in the city. You're close enough that it fills the window, not a postcard in the distance.
Neighborhood
Midtown Manhattan · Empire State Building
Atmosphere
Dim, polished, and a little cinematic. The back-lit violet bar does most of the work. Come after dark.
Key features
Unobstructed Empire State Building views from the 22nd floor, retractable glass walls that open the space in warmer months, and a violet-lit bar that makes everything look better than it probably is.
Location
Spyglass Rooftop Bar · 22F
45 West 38th Street, New York, NY 10018
About the hotel
A boutique hotel in the Garment District that takes its neighborhood seriously. The brick-and-steel exterior gives way to an interior full of hand-picked art and dark wood, the kind of place that feels like someone actually thought about every corner.
