PHD Downtown · Nightclub · New York
12th-floor penthouse atop Dream Downtown, Hudson and Empire views at PHD.
PHD Downtown is the 12th-floor penthouse of the Dream Downtown Hotel, a 400-person rooftop split between an indoor lounge and an expansive outdoor terrace that looks out over the Hudson River and the Empire State Building. Tao Group Hospitality opened it in 2015 and dressed it to the nines.
The room is built from Italian Portoro marble, Macassar ebony, and amber Venini glass chandeliers, an upscale backdrop for a terrace crowd. A retractable canopy handles the weather, cocktails run 18 dollars and up, and the signature Sunset Saturdays carry a Veuve Clicquot sponsorship. Celebrity sightings are routine, and the mix leans young professionals, travelers, and entertainment figures.
A full DJ booth and sound system support rotating talent, with names like DJ Dalton and Tali Gore spinning EDM
