Rough Guide "The Library’s concept, one of New York hostelry’s quirkier, has each floor devoted to one of the ten major categories of the Dewey Decimal System."
Michelin Guide "This place is one-of-a-kind and offers a different slant on harried midtown east."
Frommer's "The Library’s public spaces... all help make it a welcome refuge in the heart of the city." Full review
Concierge "Apart from the good-looking rooms and appealing public spaces, including a rooftop bar and second-floor book-filled lounge, this hotel, located near Grand Central Terminal, wins points on generosity."
Fodor's "Bookishly handsome... the staff is hospitable, and the whole property is old-leather-armchair comfortable." Full review
Insight Guides "The nearby New York Public Library inspires this unique Midtown oasis, where lounges and guestrooms are filled with books."

DK Eyewitness "This unique boutique hotel features cleverly designed rooms organized around a library theme."
Time Out "This bookish boutique hotel is organized on the principles of the Dewey decimal system—each of its ten floors is allocated a category, such as Literature, the Arts and General Knowledge." Full review
Gayot "It's fitting that this unique hotel resides just blocks from the famed New York Public Library. The property is crammed with more than 6,000 books, all arranged using the Dewey Decimal System."

Michelin Guide "Designed by the in-demand Thierry Despont, this hotel is the embodiment of all things debonair and dapper."
Frommer's "The Chatwal Hotel... is a recreation of 1930s New York Art Deco glamour, but with a modern gloss to it." Full review
Fodor's "A lavishly refurbished reincarnation of a classic Manhattan theater club that lay fallow for decades, the Chatwal New York delivers the luxury experience in style, with the price tag to match." Full review

"This 83-room luxury hotel in a landmark building near Times Square evokes the glamorous 1920s." Full review
Travel + Leisure "For the interiors, Thierry Despont put an updated twist on Art Deco: from the red-leather banquettes and a limestone fireplace to the terrazzo floors and leather-wrapped closets." Full review
Time Out "In a city awash with faux deco and incongruous nods to the style, the Chatwal New York opened in August 2010 in a Stanford White building whose interior art deco restoration is pitch perfect." Full review
BlackBook "Stanford White's Lambs Club becomes posh playpen. Sky's the limit for prices, but then they're hooking up suites and apartments in addition to standard luxury rooms."
Zagat3.5
"Housed in a "landmark" 1905 building, this "well-located" Midtown Starwood boutique offers a "taste of yesteryear", from the "beautiful" art deco decor to the "excellent" staffers."
Forbes Travel Guide 4 Stars
