Michelin Guide "Midtown Manhattan hotels are notorious for their cramped quarters, but The Benjamin bucks the trend with a spectrum of spacious rooms and suites equipped with full galley kitchens."
Frommer's "All rooms are airy, but the deluxe studios and one-bedroom suites are extra large... If you are a light sleeper, book a room off Lexington Avenue, which can get busy most weeknights and mornings." Full review
Fodor's "NYC is often called the City that Never Sleeps, but if a good night's rest is essential for your visit, the Benjamin may be your choice accommodation." Full review

Michelin Guide "The Soho Grand is a trailblazer and the granddaddy of them all."
Concierge "With its 2,000-square-foot penthouse lofts, the Soho Grand, the first luxury hotel in SoHo, is still the most dramatic."
Fodor's "The SoHo Grand defines what SoHo is today—once pioneering, now expensive, and with a vaguely creative vibe." Full review
OysterUpscale
"With chic decor and a youthful, almost-nightly party scene in the lounge, the Soho Grand offers an authentic but accessible taste of the hip downtown scene." Full review

DK Eyewitness "Entertainment moguls and celebrities as well keep returning to this boutique favorite."
Jetsetter "Industrial-chic Soho institution with some of the neighborhood’s best bars." Full review

Star Service "You can attribute its star quality to its spaciousness and astute management. Designers here blend industrial and designer chic." Full review
Gayot "If you're wondering why there's an antique stone dog trough at the door of this hotel, it's because this industrial-chic property is owned by pet food maker Hartz Mountain."
