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."

Rough Guide Star
"The Plaza has come back from its hiatus looking better than ever."
Michelin Guide "The esteemed Plaza is neck and neck with the Waldorf-Astoria in the race for New York's most recognizable hotel."
Fodor's "Eloise's adopted home on the corner of Central Park, the Plaza is one of New York's most storied hotels, hosting all manner of dignitaries, moneymakers, and royalty." Full review
Lonely Planet "Suitably set in a landmark French Renaissance-style building, its 282 guestrooms are a suitably regal affair, with sumptuous Louis XV-style furniture and 24-carat gold-plated bathroom faucets." Full review
OysterLuxury
"The exceptional spa and 24-hour butler service make it worth the splurge." Full review
Travel + Leisure "For a European-palace-style experience, this is the only game in town." Full review
DK Eyewitness "New York’s 1907 Grande Dame has emerged from a $400-million face-lift agleam with Baccarat chandeliers, vast expanses of marble, and large, luxurious rooms."
Time Out "The opulent vibe extends to the bathrooms, which feature mosaic baths, 24-carat gold-plated sink fittings and even chandeliers—perhaps to make the foreign royals feel at home." Full review
Star Service "Guests here enjoy housekeeping service twice daily, same-day laundry and dry cleaning, round-the-clock room service, babysitting, and a liberal pet policy." Full review
Gayot "The conversion of some of its guest rooms into residences aside, The Plaza has been and continues to be quintessential New York City."
