Rough Guide ""Designed by architect David Rockwell, Chambers is well-placed for Central Park and MoMA visits, though you can just sit and admire the 500 original works of art in its gallery-sized..."
Michelin Guide "The rooms and suites wed a modern and industrial style that may feel like home to some and a warehouse to others."
Concierge "A far more overt attempt than the subtler City Club to bring downtown style to midtown, this 77-room hotel owes its soul to art, with 500 contemporary works exhibited throughout the hotel."
Lonely Planet "Its 77 rooms are simple yet elegant, with plush cushions on wood-frame beds, and concrete-floor bathrooms featuring giant showerheads." Full review

"Between the contemporary art (even in the guest rooms) and the high-design lobby, this lovely boutique feels as much like a SoHo gallery as a hotel." Full review
DK Eyewitness "A little downtown style livens up this strip of midtown with a sleek design. The smallish rooms feature original modern art, Frette bathrobes, and cashmere throws."
Time Out "Though it opened in 2001, Chambers has a contemporary residential style that feels utterly current." Full review
Star Service "Three blocks south of Central Park, this posh hotel pays homage to high fashion and contemporary art, and is something of a secret among those who value its serene bearing." Full review
Gayot "Situated in the heart of the Fifth Avenue shopping district, this narrow fourteen-story hotel is filled with more than 500 pieces of original art."
Zagat3.5
"For "seclusion and serenity in the middle of a concrete jungle", repeat visitors rely on this "design-oriented" Midtowner that's "conveniently" located off Fifth Avenue."

Be sure to take time to relax at the open-air Rooftop Garden bar, which is open for drinks in the warmer months, although the garden is open year-round.
DK Eyewitness "Perhaps the Flatiron District’s finest full-service luxury hotel, the rooms are decorated with custom furnishings invoking the Moderne style."
Time Out "Part of Library Hotel Collection, which also runs the Library Hotel and Hotel Elysée, the Giraffe confines references to the titular animal to tasteful artwork." Full review
Gayot "Hotel Giraffe is far more chic and fun than most nearby lodgings."
BlackBook "Glitzy boutique from the peeps behind the Library, Elysée, and Casablanca. Not cheap, rooms a tad tiny, but only seven to a floor so you won't feel trapped in a hive."
Zagat3.5
"This "nicely maintained" NoMad boutique leaves fans "very, very pleased" thanks to all the "little extras", including complimentary breakfast."

"It’s not much to look at, but the location almost makes up for the rather soulless décor." Full review
Star Service "With the subway a block away, everything is close at hand, and the chaos of Times Square is blissfully out of eye- and earshot. " Full review
