"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"."

Michelin Guide "Midtown Manhattan hotels are notorious for their cramped quarters, but The Benjamin bucks the trend with a spectrum of spacious rooms and suites equipped with full galley kitchens."
Frommer's "All rooms are airy, but the deluxe studios and one-bedroom suites are extra large... If you are a light sleeper, book a room off Lexington Avenue, which can get busy most weeknights and mornings." Full review
Fodor's "NYC is often called the City that Never Sleeps, but if a good night's rest is essential for your visit, the Benjamin may be your choice accommodation." Full review

Lonely Planet "If you like your morning oatmeal at just-so temperature, but need some Midtown luxury, the 26-floor Benjamin has kitchenettes in all of its 209 rooms." Full review

Travel + Leisure "Housed in a 1927 Beaux-Arts building designed by famed architect Emery Roth, this midtown hotel is located within a mile of Times Square." Full review
DK Eyewitness "The modern rooms in this low-key hotel are designed for comfort. The work stations are perfect for business travelers."
Time Out "All rooms in this pet-friendly hotel have kitchenettes with microwaves and sinks (some suites have full-size fridges), so it’s a hit with families as well as business travelers." Full review
Star Service "For the most part, the accommodations are classic in style, with beige and ivory hues, as well as some very stylish gessoed pieces, including bureaus topped with flat-screen TVs." Full review
