Be sure to take time to relax at the open-air Rooftop Garden bar, which is open for drinks in the warmer months, although the garden is open year-round.
DK Eyewitness "Perhaps the Flatiron District’s finest full-service luxury hotel, the rooms are decorated with custom furnishings invoking the Moderne style."
Time Out "Part of Library Hotel Collection, which also runs the Library Hotel and Hotel Elysée, the Giraffe confines references to the titular animal to tasteful artwork." Full review
Gayot "Hotel Giraffe is far more chic and fun than most nearby lodgings."
BlackBook "Glitzy boutique from the peeps behind the Library, Elysée, and Casablanca. Not cheap, rooms a tad tiny, but only seven to a floor so you won't feel trapped in a hive."
Zagat3.5
"This "nicely maintained" NoMad boutique leaves fans "very, very pleased" thanks to all the "little extras", including complimentary breakfast."

"It’s not much to look at, but the location almost makes up for the rather soulless décor." Full review
Star Service "With the subway a block away, everything is close at hand, and the chaos of Times Square is blissfully out of eye- and earshot. " Full review
