Rough Guide "The interior is a showcase for contemporary design; standard “salons” (rooms) have been beautifully furnished with ornate carpets, hand-crafted wardrobes and funky, modern desks."
Michelin Guide "The Surrey's location may be knee deep in the old-monied world of the Upper East Side, but its quietly elegant flair is as new as a spring lamb."
Concierge "The suites, while very large, feel corporate."
Lonely Planet "This steely Upper East Side gem – literally, everything is decorated in silvery shades of grey – is all about luxury." Full review
Oyster Luxury

Travel + Leisure "Spruced-up rooms and suites—in shades of gray, cream, and white—have Duxiana beds, Pratesi bathrobes, and exclusive amenities from perfumer Laura Tonatto." Full review
DK Eyewitness "This all-suite hotel is a lovely choice for those willing to spend extra on dramatically more space."
Time Out "The centerpiece is undoubtedly the incredibly comfortable DUX by Duxiana bed... coupled with the hotel’s quiet location, it practically guarantees your best sleep ever." Full review
Star Service "Service operates on a high level, with guests at reception being escorted right to their guest rooms, while a Les Clefs d'Or concierge seemingly holds the keys to the city." Full review
Gayot "Today The Surrey provides travelers with an ultra relaxing place to rest between visits to Upper East Side spots such as the Whitney Museum of American Art."
