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."

Rough Guide Star
"This hotel really lives up to its claims of sophistication and elegance."
Michelin Guide "The exterior reads Upper East Side formality, but inside, this hotel screams exuberance."
Frommer's "There is nothing not to like here, with the exception of the steep rates: this kind of luxury does not come cheap." Full review
Concierge "An haute hideaway on Manhattan's Upper East Side since 1927, the venerable Mark reopened last fall with a radical new look, trading in its erstwhile French pedigree for Parisian pop."
Fodor's "If you took every Upper East Side real estate fantasy and condensed it into a modern hotel, you'd come up with the Mark." Full review
Oyster Luxury
"The Mark, an historic hotel built in 1927, re-opened in 2009 as one of the best contemporary luxury hotels in New York." Full review
Jetsetter "Grande dame turned design glamazon with a Jean-Georges Vongerichten restaurant and hot bar." Full review
Star Service "On the corner of Madison Avenue at 77th Street, this rather showy Upper East Side (UES) address has settled into its revamp, but still manages to create a buzz." Full review
Gayot "The exterior may be classic Upper East Side elegance, but peek through the front door, and within a second, you'll understand that there's more to this hotel than first meets the eye."
BlackBook "Grand Hotel nods and general ‘30s Paris vibe. Subtle and serene, marked by discreet, attentive service."
