Michelin Guide "The James was a ground-up new construction hotel that is imbued with the artistic spirit that has made SoHo world famous."
Frommer's "A rooftop outdoor pool and an urban garden and herb garden off the second floor lobby add to the James’s appeal." Full review
Fodor's "A favorite of creative-types, businesspeople, fashionistas, and deep-pocketed regular Joes, the James, right on the edge of SoHo, never sacrifices comfort for style." Full review
Lonely Planet "The James plays with a variety of architectural elements in each of the hotel’s different spaces, and somehow they all seem to work beautifully." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Opened in September, 2010, this Modernist addition to SoHo has a permanent art collection and 114 rooms with natural linen bedding and reclaimed-wood floors." Full review
Time Out "Instead of merely replicating a successful formula, the owners have given the property a distinctly Gotham vibe—even the door staff sports rakish uniforms." Full review
Star Service "On the southern edge of SoHo, just north of Canal Street, this Chicago import has done a better job than most melding into its boho-chic neighborhood, thanks to a localist approach." Full review
Gayot "Perhaps The James' emphasis on green got to us. Even the small standard rooms here feel very bring-the-outside-in at this hot boutique hotel."
BlackBook "Soho border spot a walled city of chic, topped with lux rooms and a swinging rooftop cocktail/pool scene at Johnny Swet's Jimmy."
Zagat3.3
"Gushing guests "absolutely love the views" from the "amazing" rooftop pool and bar at this "modern" SoHo high-rise, a "favorite" thanks to the "spacious", "calming" quarters."

Rough Guide "You’re really paying for the 360-degree views, the full spa, the heated rooftop pool (one of very few in the city) and the scene."
Michelin Guide "Their striking rooms and attractive suites show off a thoroughly modern vibe with an understated luxury."
Frommer's "Despite its potentially excessive trendiness, the 14-floor, zinc-colored Gansevoort offers excellent, personable service." Full review
Fodor's "Though the nearby Standard New York has stolen some of its thunder, there's plenty to draw guests to this chic Meatpacking District pioneer... a superb choice for urban poolside lounging." Full review

"This 187-room Meatpacking District hotel is more than its lauded rooftop pool." Full review
Travel + Leisure "With 187 rooms and 23 suites, the Hotel Gansevoort is a stylish resort located in New York’s Meatpacking District." Full review
DK Eyewitness "A 45-ft (13.5-m) rooftop pool and Ono, an indoor-outdoor restaurant, are among the features that draw models and celebrities to this sleek, high-rise addition to the hip Meatpacking District."
Time Out "By day, you can soak up the sun, and the Hudson River panorama, on a lounger by the 45-foot heated open-air pool." Full review
BlackBook "Glowing glass beacon in the Meatpacking District. Proof that New York can do Sunset Boulevard. Rooftop bar and pool attracts all varieties of social barnacles."
Zagat3.5
"An "unbeatable" rooftop pool and bar, where "party people" play and take in "beautiful" views, is the "crown jewel" of this "young, trendy" boutique hotel."
