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."

"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."

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
