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.

"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."
Zagat

Michelin Guide
"In case the red coat- and top hat-wearing doormen haven't convinced you, the crackling fireplace and clubby interiors will certainly encourage you to sit and relax awhile."
Concierge
"Entertainment industry folk have been flocking to the Bowery Hotel since its opening last spring. And it's no wonder... this stretch of the Lower East Side is quickly shedding its infamous grit."
Fodor's
"Gemma, the expansive and cozy Italian restaurant that's part of the hotel, completes the Bowery's insular, yet cushy vibe." Full review
Lonely Planet
"Rooms have huge factory windows with unobstructed views, simple white spreads with red piping, and elegant four-poster beds." Full review

Upscale
"The Bowery Hotel redefines class in a gentrified downtown neighborhood where punk rock and squalor once ruled." Full review
Travel + Leisure
"Hoteliers Sean MacPherson and Eric Goode—the team behind New York’s Maritime Hotel—are breathing new life into Manhattan’s once-desolate Bowery with their 135-room Bowery Hotel." Full review
DK Eyewitness
"An opulent 17-story hotel, it features lobby fireplaces and wood-paneled elevators, floor-to-ceiling windows in every room, and seven rooms with private terraces, hot tubs, and outdoor showers."
Time Out
"This fanciful boutique hotel from prominent hospitality duo Eric Goode and Sean MacPherson is the capstone in the gentrification of the Bowery." Full review
Star Service
"This hotel looks like it could have been a stage set from Gangs of New York, a retro-boho Victorian throw-down that definitely effuses its own style." Full review
Gayot
"The surrounding area may feel more modern --- and far more chichi -- than it has in past years, but inside old NYC comes alive."
