Michelin Guide "In case the red coat- and top hat-wearing doormen haven't convinced you, the crackling fireplace and clubby interiors will certainly encourage you to sit and relax awhile."
Concierge "Entertainment industry folk have been flocking to the Bowery Hotel since its opening last spring. And it's no wonder... this stretch of the Lower East Side is quickly shedding its infamous grit."
Fodor's "Gemma, the expansive and cozy Italian restaurant that's part of the hotel, completes the Bowery's insular, yet cushy vibe." Full review
Lonely Planet "Rooms have huge factory windows with unobstructed views, simple white spreads with red piping, and elegant four-poster beds." Full review

"The Bowery Hotel redefines class in a gentrified downtown neighborhood where punk rock and squalor once ruled." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Hoteliers Sean MacPherson and Eric Goode—the team behind New York’s Maritime Hotel—are breathing new life into Manhattan’s once-desolate Bowery with their 135-room Bowery Hotel." Full review
DK Eyewitness "An opulent 17-story hotel, it features lobby fireplaces and wood-paneled elevators, floor-to-ceiling windows in every room, and seven rooms with private terraces, hot tubs, and outdoor showers."
Time Out "This fanciful boutique hotel from prominent hospitality duo Eric Goode and Sean MacPherson is the capstone in the gentrification of the Bowery." Full review
Star Service "This hotel looks like it could have been a stage set from Gangs of New York, a retro-boho Victorian throw-down that definitely effuses its own style." Full review
Gayot "The surrounding area may feel more modern --- and far more chichi -- than it has in past years, but inside old NYC comes alive."

Michelin Guide "The Mercer stood out from the crowd and inspired plenty of copycats. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, but there's still only one Mercer hotel."
Frommer's "Once inside, there is a pronounced calm... The hotel is a perfect complement to the scene outside your big window." Full review
Concierge "You never know who you're going to see at the Mercer or what you'll see them do."
Fodor's "The Mercer is superbly situated in the heart of SoHo's myriad name-brand stores, although you wouldn't know it once you're inside the lobby, a minimalist oasis." Full review
Lonely Planet "Right in the heart of SoHo’s brick lanes, the grand Mercer is where stars sleep." Full review
OysterLuxury
"The Mercer's 75 loft-style guest rooms, beautiful staff, stylish lobby/lounge, personalized service, and swanky SoHo location make it a go-to choice for celebrities." Full review
Travel + Leisure "The Mercer's six floor Romanesque-revival style building is a landmark of SoHo." Full review
DK Eyewitness "This discreet boutique property comes at luxury prices, and celebrities seeking a bit more privacy have made this their choice."
Insight Guides "A converted 1890s landmark building right in the heart of Soho, the Mercer's rooms feature high loft ceilings, arched windows, and (for New York) spacious bath facilities."
Time Out "Opened in 2001 by trendsetting hotelier André Balazs, the Mercer still has ample attractions that appeal to a celeb-heavy clientele." Full review
