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."

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."
