"Built in 1955 as Standard Oil's company's headquarters, the building was completely revamped under the sharp eye of owner André Balazs, giving it a sleeky, cutting-edge feel." Full review

BlackBook
"Dignity and refinement—they roll out the red carpet. Not as liberal towards streetwalkers with hearts of gold in the lobby as Pretty Woman made us think, but Richard Gere certainly welcome."
Zagat
