The hotel rooftop bars in New York on the map
Good to know
These rooftops are inside hotels. Many welcome people who are not staying there, but not all of them: some keep access for hotel guests at certain times, in the evening or during private events. Getting up there usually means crossing the lobby and taking a dedicated elevator, sometimes with a check at the door. Smart casual dress is often expected. If you are not a guest, book a table where possible and check the official website for non-resident access, opening hours, which often change with the season, and whether the terrace closes in bad weather.
