The Bar/Lounge at ModernHaus SoHo

"Another pricey but exquisite boutique, just north of Canal Street, featuring panoramic views from the stylish rooms and all the extras; iPod stations, free wi-fi (and use of Mac computers), snacks and drinks, and rooftop pool and bar"

"For a more SoHo spirit, ride up to the roof where the shimmering pool makes a beautiful backdrop for the sexy glass-enclosed bar and lounge, Jimmy"

"Other perks include a plunge pool and hip rooftop lounge called The Jimmy, an urban garden on the second floor for more outdoor lounging, and room service from star chef David Burke, whose restaurant is on the first floor"

"The rooftop bar, Jimmy, has indoor and outdoor space for cocktails and snacks"

"Added sex appeal is provided by the rooftop plunge pool, complete with slinky bar for see-and-be-seen cocktails"

"With a stunning rooftop bar and pool, great freebies (including Wi-Fi and nightly wine and cheese), David Burke restaurant, and a hotel art curator, this 114-room Soho boutique embodies the hip, creative neighborhood it inhabits"

"Although the attractions of Soho and Tribeca beckon, the hotel offers tempting facilities: a seasonal three-level “urban garden,” which houses an outdoor bar and eatery (one of two restaurants on site), and a rooftop bar that opens onto the (tiny) pool"

"Well-known NYC chef David Burke's eponymous restaurant, David Burke Kitchen, and the nicely sceney rooftop bar, Jimmy, get part of the credit"

"Gushing guests "absolutely love the views" from the "amazing" rooftop pool and bar at this "modern" SoHo high-rise, a "favorite" thanks to the "spacious", "calming" quarters "designed to make you feel at home" that feature "sleek" furniture, "great" rain showers and high-end bedding; complimentary snacks are a "masterful touch", and the David Burke Kitchen, a "tranquil" urban garden and "thoughtful" staffers encourage repeat visitors"

"Floor-to-ceiling windows flood the second-floor lobby with natural light, and fashionable lounge chairs, iron chandeliers with globe-encased Edison bulbs, and a curated playlist make for a stylish midday seating area"
