Michelin Guide
"This ever-sleek hotel delivers space, style, and a fantastic location all rolled into one gorgeous package."
Frommer's
"The quintessential midtown Manhattan hotel... The rooms are spacious, with big windows providing spectacular views." Full review
Concierge
"While the echoing chambers are big, they feel a bit impersonal—better for biz execs, perhaps, than starry-eyed lovers."
Fodor's
"Stylish and sophisticated, the London NYC merges the flair of both its namesake cities, with the added bonus of Gordon Ramsay's first stateside restaurant." Full review
Lonely Planet
"This luxe hotel salutes the British capital in sophisticated ways, including a silk-stitched tapestry of Hyde Park... in the lobby, and a Michelin-starred restaurant by Gordon Ramsay." Full review

Travel + Leisure
"Since opening in late 2006, the London may have received less press than its Gordon Ramsay-run in-house restaurant, but this elegant, all-suite hotel justly deserves its own following." Full review
DK Eyewitness
"A charming mural of Hyde Park marks this 54-story tower, an all-suite hotel with some of the city’s largest accommodations, and smartly refurbished by British designer David Collins."
Time Out
"Space is perhaps the biggest luxury: The 350–500-square-foot London Suites (the starting-priced accommodations) are either open-plan or divided with mirrored French doors." Full review
Star Service
"It is in a convenient location two blocks from Broadway or Fifth Avenue shops. (Judging from the number of guests swinging designer tote bags, shopping is one of the primary occupations here.)." Full review

"The "impeccable" service at this "upscale" (but "not snooty") Upper Eastsider "distinguishes it from other hotels" thanks to "excellent" staffers who make sure "every request is taken care of"."

Gayot

Jetsetter
"Classic Upper East Side boutique famous for its European grandeur, detail-oriented service, and celebrity clientele one block from Central Park." Full review
