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."

You can choose your room according to a subject of interest to you (literature, science, erotica).
Travel + Leisure "Although nonbibliophiles may find it a tad precious, it's hard not to be charmed by the schtick of this bookish hotel." Full review
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 "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
Oyster Luxury
"This stylish, all-suite hotel is one of the best luxury deals around." 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
