Rough Guide "The interior is a showcase for contemporary design; standard “salons” (rooms) have been beautifully furnished with ornate carpets, hand-crafted wardrobes and funky, modern desks."
Michelin Guide "The Surrey's location may be knee deep in the old-monied world of the Upper East Side, but its quietly elegant flair is as new as a spring lamb."
Concierge "The suites, while very large, feel corporate."
Lonely Planet "This steely Upper East Side gem – literally, everything is decorated in silvery shades of grey – is all about luxury." Full review
Oyster Luxury
"This 190-room hotel on the Upper East Side is ready to pull guests away from the nearby Carlyle with room service by Cafe Boulud." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Spruced-up rooms and suites—in shades of gray, cream, and white—have Duxiana beds, Pratesi bathrobes, and exclusive amenities from perfumer Laura Tonatto." Full review
DK Eyewitness "This all-suite hotel is a lovely choice for those willing to spend extra on dramatically more space."
Time Out "The centerpiece is undoubtedly the incredibly comfortable DUX by Duxiana bed... coupled with the hotel’s quiet location, it practically guarantees your best sleep ever." Full review
Star Service "Service operates on a high level, with guests at reception being escorted right to their guest rooms, while a Les Clefs d'Or concierge seemingly holds the keys to the city." Full review
Gayot "Today The Surrey provides travelers with an ultra relaxing place to rest between visits to Upper East Side spots such as the Whitney Museum of American Art."

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
OysterUpscale
"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."
