The Django is the hotel's on-site jazz club, which features shows seven days a week for guests, tourists, and New Yorkers to check out. The venue is modeled after the nightclubs of Paris and features two cocktail bars and an impressive dinner menu.

Choose from classic appetizers like a meat and cheese board of oysters to a meal like its namesake burger, baked salmon, or steak. The cocktail program by award-winning mixologist Natasha David includes an expansive list of spirits and non-alcoholic options to boot.

The Django’s drinks draw inspiration from music. Choose between drinks like La Bamba, made with chipotle-infused tequila, mezcal, black cherry, cinnamon, and lime, and Harlem's Manhattan, made with rye whiskey, cherry brandy, sweet vermouth, and brandy.

It's apparent at every turn that the arts are of high value to The Roxy. The cinema regularly runs independent films, rare archival prints, and 35mm cult classics. Special film series are also on the calendar, with a gourmet concession stand available for all showings.

For overnight accommodations, the 201 rooms at The Roxy boast a mid-century modern aesthetic. A penthouse two-bedroom suite with a private terrace is the hotel's most lavish offering, though each room is designed for optimal comfort during your stay.
