"Sets a new standard for bohemian chic."
Michelin Guide "In the middle of it all, you can quite literally get anywhere from here, but pull up a chair and stay awhile. It's the real deal, nailing that beatnik sensibility, and it even comes with a past."
Fodor's "The vibe is unstuffy and down-to-earth, making it a popular hangout for creatives and people who work from wherever they lay their laptop." Full review
Insight Guides "Combine the old-world charm of 1904 surroundings with a boho-chic vibe and what do you get? Hipster heaven."
DK Eyewitness "The Ace Hotel channels a youthful rock-n-roll vibe: many of the large rooms come with vintage furniture, full-size refrigerator, and even a turntable and guitar."
Time Out "Bourgeois hipsters tired of crashing on couches will appreciate the New York outpost of the cool chainlet founded in Seattle by a pair of DJs." Full review
Star Service "This is certainly not the hippest hotel in Manhattan, but it is one with more grit and authenticity than most." Full review
Gayot "Designed for all types of travelers, this hip hotel offers guests a choice of Bunk, Double, Queen and King rooms in a variety of price ranges and types."
BlackBook "Rooms run the spectrum of the dollar-lined rainbow: bunk-up to save money, or 700 square feet of trust-fund-bedhead-esque loft space."

""If you're a hipster or want to pretend to be one", this "young and stylish" Midtowner delivers a "rock 'n' roll aesthetic" with "lots of character"."

Rough Guide "The Library’s concept, one of New York hostelry’s quirkier, has each floor devoted to one of the ten major categories of the Dewey Decimal System."
Michelin Guide "This place is one-of-a-kind and offers a different slant on harried midtown east."
Frommer's "The Library’s public spaces... all help make it a welcome refuge in the heart of the city." Full review
Concierge "Apart from the good-looking rooms and appealing public spaces, including a rooftop bar and second-floor book-filled lounge, this hotel, located near Grand Central Terminal, wins points on generosity."
Fodor's "Bookishly handsome... the staff is hospitable, and the whole property is old-leather-armchair comfortable." Full review
Insight Guides "The nearby New York Public Library inspires this unique Midtown oasis, where lounges and guestrooms are filled with books."

You can choose your room according to a subject of interest to you (literature, science, erotica).
Travel + Leisure "Although nonbibliophiles may find it a tad precious, it's hard not to be charmed by the schtick of this bookish hotel." Full review
DK Eyewitness "This unique boutique hotel features cleverly designed rooms organized around a library theme."
Time Out "This bookish boutique hotel is organized on the principles of the Dewey decimal system—each of its ten floors is allocated a category, such as Literature, the Arts and General Knowledge." Full review
Gayot "It's fitting that this unique hotel resides just blocks from the famed New York Public Library. The property is crammed with more than 6,000 books, all arranged using the Dewey Decimal System."
