Rough Guide "The Pierre still drips with luxury, its rooms offering views of Central Park, iPod docks and DVD players, though it’s not quite the palace it was when Salvador Dalí used to stay."
Frommer's "A property of India-based Taj Hotels, the Pierre, along with the St. Regis and the Plaza, is one of New York’s grandest of grand dame hotels." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Inviting service makes this sophisticated and beautifully renovated hotel seem not so intimidating."
Time Out "The Asian influence is reflected in silk bedspreads from Bangalore and contemporary Indian art, but the hotel restaurant is a swanky new Italian spot designed by Adam Tihany, Sirio." Full review
Star Service "White-gloved staff outnumbers guests 3-to-1, the concierge team holds Les Clefs d'Or qualifications, and room service is provided around-the-clock." Full review
BlackBook "Look past the Corsican name, this luxe HQ is running on Indian hospitality. Taj Hotels broke the bank for renovation, keeps the staff to guest ratio at a hefty three to one."
Zagat4.3
""Spoil yourself" at this "swanky" "New York classic", a "quiet place to slip away" that's "beautiful, inside and out" and boasts a "fabulous" location overlooking Central Park."
Forbes Travel Guide 5 Stars

"All rooms face out, many to the Hudson, for splendid views... and have modern decor and lofty ceilings."
Michelin Guide "It shouldn't really come as a surprise that lnk48 is making big news. After all, this hotel occupies a former printing house. And yes, while it may be housed in the far reaches of the..."
Frommer's "An intriguing, more serene alternative than those a few blocks east... with spectacular city views." Full review
Fodor's "Spacious, reasonably priced rooms, expansive views, a sceney rooftop bar and pool, and great service make up for a long three-avenue walk from the nearest subway." Full review
Star Service "The lobby sets the tone here and stays true to Kimpton's colorful design ethic. Cherry blossom-print fabrics and planed surfaces put a Zen spin on the decor." Full review
Gayot "The 222 rooms and suites feature bold art and colors, and some stunning NYC and Hudson River views."
BlackBook "Who says publishing is dying? It's got a theme hotel! SF-based Kimpton brings style and luxury to converted '30s printing house."

"Set on the far west side of Midtown, this "swanky" but "funky" boutique hotel boasts an "imaginative" decor, "top-notch" service and excellent amenities."
Jetsetter "Printing house-turned-hotel in the heart of Hell’s Kitchen, with killer skyline views from a swoon-worthy rooftop bar." Full review
Afar Magazine "The hotel is close to everything without being too close. It's accessible by both bus and subway and within walking distance of area restaurants, Times Square...rooms are sleek and modern " Full review
