Frommer's "Falls into that hip/boutique category, with its whitewashed rooms filled with high-tech goodies." Full review

Fodor's "A New York landmark in brown brick that towers over the New York Public Library and Bryant Park, this sleek hotel is still a Midtown hot spot." Full review
DK Eyewitness "The stunning American Radiator Building (with all the gold leaf) is home to minimalist design luxury across from Bryant Park."

Gayot "A location alone... is enough of a selling point for travelers wishing to be in the center of New York City. But the hotel offers far more appeal than just its address."
BlackBook "Rooms are gorgeous, spacious, comfortably modern and quiet, many with treetop park views."
Zagat3.5
"Tucked in a near-"perfect" location close to Grand Central, this Midtowner puts you "awfully close to where you need to be" and provides "great" views."
