Rough Guide "The interior is a showcase for contemporary design; standard “salons” (rooms) have been beautifully furnished with ornate carpets, hand-crafted wardrobes and funky, modern desks."
Michelin Guide "The Surrey's location may be knee deep in the old-monied world of the Upper East Side, but its quietly elegant flair is as new as a spring lamb."
Concierge "The suites, while very large, feel corporate."
Lonely Planet "This steely Upper East Side gem – literally, everything is decorated in silvery shades of grey – is all about luxury." Full review
