Hotels in United States
Rooftop hotels in the United States cover three very different skylines on this site: New York, Los Angeles and Miami. In New York the view is the point, with Midtown terraces lining up the Empire State and Chrysler buildings and downtown rooftops facing One World Trade Center and the rivers. Los Angeles spreads out instead, so its rooftops trade height for range: West Hollywood terraces above the Sunset Strip, Downtown decks among the towers, and the Hollywood Hills on the horizon. Miami brings water into the frame, with Brickell and Biscayne Bay rooftops looking toward the causeways and Miami Beach.
Seasons differ too. New York's rooftop season peaks from May to October, Los Angeles stays mild most of the year, and Miami is at its most comfortable from November to April. Choose New York for skyline drama, Los Angeles for long sunset light, Miami for pools and bay views.
