ital, energetic and constantly changing, the Lower East Side is a quintessential New York City neighborhood. As one of the oldest in Manhattan, the area gets its personality from the rich tapestry of its history. It was once home to immigrants passing through Ellis Island in the 1920s and specters of that era remain, including Katz’s Delicatessen, Russ & Daughters and original tenements still standing amidst the new construction. The neighborhood evolved into a creative playground in the 1960s as a wave of musicians and artists took up residence. The area became known for its rebellious,
young and edgy nature, from the famous graffitists of the ’ 80s and ’ 90s to the style makers of today. The LES is one of NYC’s most soughtafter neighborhoods, whether you’re catching up at a coffeehouse, dining out or partying until dawn. In the heart of the LES sits the awardwinning Hotel Indigo, a boutique-style urban oasis. The hotel expresses the vibrant voice of the LES’s street style, people, galleries, tastes, flavors, libations, sounds and fashions. Hotel Indigo has 294 spacious guest rooms, including four suites and a duplex penthouse suite with stunning terraces way
