Located on the roof-level of the Hotel Americano is the new La Piscine that looks to duplicate the magic of Mexico City's famed Condesa bar in the middle of New York City. Visitors skip the lobby altogether and instead make their way to the dedicated glass elevator that zips along the 10-floors with a fashionable crowd that texts-away on the silent elevator ride in between sometime flirtatious glances between prettier passengers - of which there is no shortage. On the rooftop visitors find a rectangular pool with surrounding deck more about ambiance than actual waterborne activities connecting to an outdoor eatery with bar framed in perfected architectural angles with series of communal tables and seating areas privy to NYC's sexiest lounge spirits and eccentric fashionistas.
