Rough Guide
"This hotel – in the old American Radiator Building, a striking black-and-gold mix of Gothic and Deco architecture – shows off its edgy attitude in its stylish contemporary rooms."
Frommer's
"Falls into that hip/boutique category, with its whitewashed rooms filled with high-tech goodies." Full review
Concierge
"Close to the Seventh Avenue showrooms and just across the street from Bryant Park, the former location of New York's fashion shows, this modern hotel remains popular with the style crowd."
Fodor's
"A New York landmark in brown brick that towers over the New York Public Library and Bryant Park, this sleek hotel is still a Midtown hot spot." Full review
DK Eyewitness
"The stunning American Radiator Building (with all the gold leaf) is home to minimalist design luxury across from Bryant Park."

Gayot
"A location alone... is enough of a selling point for travelers wishing to be in the center of New York City. But the hotel offers far more appeal than just its address."
BlackBook
"Rooms are gorgeous, spacious, comfortably modern and quiet, many with treetop park views."

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

Upscale
"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."
Zagat
3.5
"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."
