Surrounded by a blend of warehouses and old tenement buildings, the Off-SoHo Suites are just outside SoHo (which, vaguely, begins on the opposite side of the Bowery). The hotel itself is on a relatively isolated part of Rivington Street in the Lower East Side, a short walk from bars, clubs, and small-scale music venues, including the Bowery Ballroom, as well as the some of SoHo's upscale restaurants.
