"The hotel is swank on its own terms, offering a thing or two its Manhattan peers would be hard pressed to provide."
Fodor's
"One of the hottest openings of 2012–and home to stunning Manhattan-skyline views, locally sourced design touches and amenities, and a hip restaurant." Full review

Upscale
"With a hopping rooftop bar boasting jaw-dropping views of Manhattan, a wonderful restaurant, and cutting-edge industrial design, the Wythe is a destination unto itself." Full review
Time Out
"The Wythe may not be the first boutique hotel in Williamsburg, but it’s the first to capture the neighborhood’s elusive hip factor." Full review
Gayot
"Decor elements pay homage to the building's industrial beginnings with cast-iron railings, exposed wood beams and other retro accents."
BlackBook
"B-burg boutique in a gutted 1901 cooperage. Seventy-two rooms outfitted with custom wood beds made of recycled pine from the old factory."
Zagat

Rough Guide
Star
"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."
Zagat
3.3
""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"."
