Michelin Guide "Designed by the in-demand Thierry Despont, this hotel is the embodiment of all things debonair and dapper."
Frommer's "The Chatwal Hotel... is a recreation of 1930s New York Art Deco glamour, but with a modern gloss to it." Full review
Fodor's "A lavishly refurbished reincarnation of a classic Manhattan theater club that lay fallow for decades, the Chatwal New York delivers the luxury experience in style, with the price tag to match." Full review

"This 83-room luxury hotel in a landmark building near Times Square evokes the glamorous 1920s." Full review
Travel + Leisure "For the interiors, Thierry Despont put an updated twist on Art Deco: from the red-leather banquettes and a limestone fireplace to the terrazzo floors and leather-wrapped closets." Full review
Time Out "In a city awash with faux deco and incongruous nods to the style, the Chatwal New York opened in August 2010 in a Stanford White building whose interior art deco restoration is pitch perfect." Full review
BlackBook "Stanford White's Lambs Club becomes posh playpen. Sky's the limit for prices, but then they're hooking up suites and apartments in addition to standard luxury rooms."

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."

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
