Frommer's "The elegant Peacock Lounge has become one of the most popular bar/restaurants in the city -- especially a little after sunset for its breathtaking views." Full review
Fodor's "Attention to elegant detail—the lobby's marble floors, wood paneling, and leather sofas—reigns at this boutique hotel." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Refurbished as a boutique hotel, the Hera’s rooms are on the small side but lack for nothing; it’s worth paying extra for fifth floor suites with bigger balconies."
