Fodor's

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
