Frommer's "This hideaway in New York's most elegant neighborhood (the stretch of Madison Ave. in the 60s) is elegant, luxurious, and oozing with sophistication." Full review
Concierge "The quintessential Upper East Side residential nest, this collection of 149 rooms and suites is decorated with Asian and European silks, framed prints, and striped drapes."
Fodor's "Positioned unobtrusively by Central Park on the Upper East Side, the Plaza Athénée... makes stellar service a priority." Full review
Travel + Leisure "One of the few independent hotels left in Manhattan, this 142-room bijou is cherished by Europeans (and savvy celebrities) for its intimacy and attentive staff." Full review
Star Service "More than a quarter of the rooms are elegant suites and studios, with the decadent and panoramic Terrace Suites among the city's most sought-after accommodations. " Full review

Zagat4.0
"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"."
Forbes Travel Guide 4 Stars
"The exclusive hotel blends seamlessly with the ritzy residential neighborhood just off of Central Park, and staff has plenty of experience assisting celebrity clientele." Full review
Gayot "While the opulence of this time-honored enclave makes it appear suitable only for royalty, mere mortals --- or rather, well-heeled commoners --- are heartily welcomed."
Jetsetter "Classic Upper East Side boutique famous for its European grandeur, detail-oriented service, and celebrity clientele one block from Central Park." Full review

Gayot "Sophisticated decor includes oversize paneled walnut headboards, a sleek neutral color palette and fur throw-covered beds."
Zagat "The historic MetLife clock tower overlooking Madison Square Park has been revived as a luxury hotel whose understated vibe stands in stark contrast to the bustle of NoMad just outside its doors."
Travel + Leisure "The 273 rooms have sleek furniture and sizable showers, and many look out on the Empire State Building." Full review
Forbes Travel Guide 4 Stars
"Taking up residence in a historic clock tower (once the tallest building in the city), The New York Edition is the epitome of understated elegance." Full review
Jetsetter "New York it-spot in a Madison Square Park landmark with a destination restaurant and a buzzy library bar." Full review
The Telegraph9.0
"This was once the tallest building in the world and modelled after the bell tower of Venice’s St. Mark’s Basilica. Today, it’s a modern, airy clubhouse." Full review
Mr & Mrs Smith "It’s bang on Madison Square, literally eye-to-eye with the Flatiron, but you’ll not hear one siren squeal; one yellow cab beep; or even the shouts from an overzealous frat party." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler Readers' Choice Award
"The Edition is a couple hundred dollars less than the luxury mainstays you'd find further uptown, but it's just as comfortable." Full review
OysterLuxury
"The historic 1909 Met Life clocktower that the property resides in is a highlight in itself, while another top perk is the on-site Michelin-starred restaurant." Full review
Fodor's "Based around the “hotel as a private home,” this is the sort of house you hope to get invited to dinner." Full review

Should the Lobby Bar be too much of a scene, jog upstairs to the Bar, adjacent to Clocktower, for pints and flights and a round of pool.
