Frommer's
"If you're the loll-around-in-bed type, this is a great place to do it; the super-comfy beds feature cushiony pillow-top mattresses, soft duvets, and mounds of pillows." Full review

"Details from the former 1929 Beaux Arts gentleman's club can be seen in the lobby's vaulted arches and gold-leaf ceiling, although a 2009 renovation added thoroughly modern touches."
Lonely Planet
"Employees all wear black at this hip hotel where the soaring ‘living room’ (lobby/bar) feels a little like a dance club, especially when the DJ gets going." Full review

Fodor's
