Catch the Big Eclipse of 2017 at a New York Hotel

It’s Eclipse Day 2017. Here in New York, we’ve been promised a 75 percent partial that will start at 1:23 p.m., hit its stride at 2:44 p.m. and wrap at 4 p.m., according to authorities at the American Museum of Natural History. We won’t get a total eclipse, but the moon covering three quarters of the sun qualifies as a big deal.

These hotels with roof bars, pools and sky rooms are so stoked they’re throwing eclipse parties. Drop by and watch the big show in the sky with a crowd.

Haven Rooftop at the Sanctuary This Midtown West hotel isn’t tall but boasts a hopping open-air roof bar with great sky views. The $20 admission gets you a cocktail and solar eclipse sunglasses. Come sip the drink of the day, the Eclipse Negroni made with cinnamon infused gin, Aperol, Campari and anise. 132 West 47th Street, 212 234-7000

Hotel Americano Instead of a roof bar this chic Chelsea hotel has a pool where you can down a Grey Goose Martini, or two, and catch the sky show. Free admission, solar sunglasses provided, but you need to book: rsvp@hotel-americano. For $40 you can order a pool-side chair and watch in style. 518 West 27th Street, 212 216-0000
