The Bar/Lounge at Gansevoort Meatpacking NYC

"The G Spa, a 5,000-square-foot spa and fitness center, and the indoor/outdoor O Bar are destinations unto themselves"

"The rooftop is also home to a bar--Plunge serves cocktails and Mediterranean-inspired food"

"The nightly parade of clubhoppers outside the door can grow tiresome -- but if that's your scene, the proximity to so many excellent restaurants and bars is hard to beat"

"It’s the perfect stop-off before or after a night at the hotel’s models-and-bottles Provocateur Lounge + Café"

"By day, you can soak up the sun, and the Hudson River panorama, on a lounger by the 45-foot heated open-air pool"

"Rooftop bar and pool attracts all varieties of social barnacles"

"An "unbeatable" rooftop pool and bar, where "party people" play and take in "beautiful" views, is the "crown jewel" of this "young, trendy" boutique hotel, tucked in the "hip" Meatpacking District; scenesters love the "see-and-be-seen" vibe, and though critics "don't appreciate the lounge atmosphere" and "expect more for the price", the service satisfies and the "comfortable" rooms boast "pleasant" decor, free WiFi and flat-screen TVs (plus balconies in some)"

"But if you really want a taste of the city, venture up to the rooftop Plunge Bar and Lounge, where you’ll find an indoor loft-like venue decked out with flat-screen TVs, a DJ booth and plush couches"

"There's also a street-level restaurant and a very swanky cocktail lounge/nightclub called Provacateur"

"Its rooftop pool is the big draw, but beware the party girls and football watchers hovering near the televisions in the inside area of the bar"
