Rough Guide "With the High Line running under it, fabulous views from its rooms and a bevy of trendy food and nightlife options on hand, André Balazs’ Standard Hotel is just about too hip for its own..."
Michelin Guide "The rooms are the very definition of clean and uncluttered contemporary design sprinkled with the sexy styling of the 1950s."
Concierge "Despite its location and never-ending buzz, this is one of the city's relatively reasonable hotels, made clear by the unmemorable yet inoffensive Design Within Reach–style decor."

"Offers 338 light-flooded, ultra-mod rooms with panoramic views of the city; one restaurant, several popular bars; and excellent service." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Practically every room has stunning skyline or Hudson River vistas. Vast swaths of glass work to that end." Full review
Time Out "Straddling the High Line, the retro 18-story structure has been configured to give each room an exhilarating view, either of the river or a midtown cityscape." Full review
Star Service "The High Line Hotel has a venerable verve and a laidback aesthetic that works well with its coffeehouse decor." Full review
BlackBook "Looking like a giant friendly robot in mid-stride over the High Line, latest Andre Balazs project a stunning retro-futuristic addition to the MePa skyline."

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
