Rough Guide "This hotel – in the old American Radiator Building, a striking black-and-gold mix of Gothic and Deco architecture – shows off its edgy attitude in its stylish contemporary rooms."
Frommer's "Falls into that hip/boutique category, with its whitewashed rooms filled with high-tech goodies." Full review
Concierge "Close to the Seventh Avenue showrooms and just across the street from Bryant Park, the former location of New York's fashion shows, this modern hotel remains popular with the style crowd."
Fodor's "A New York landmark in brown brick that towers over the New York Public Library and Bryant Park, this sleek hotel is still a Midtown hot spot." Full review
DK Eyewitness "The stunning American Radiator Building (with all the gold leaf) is home to minimalist design luxury across from Bryant Park."
Time Out "When the shows and the shoots are done, the fashion and film folk flock to this luxe landing pad (it’s particularly busy during Fashion Week)." Full review
Star Service "This minimalist boutique-hotel has a tradition of attracting style hounds and eager international tourists with an elan that few in its class can match." Full review

For views of Bryant Park, request rooms in the -02 to -08 series.
Gayot "A location alone... is enough of a selling point for travelers wishing to be in the center of New York City. But the hotel offers far more appeal than just its address."
BlackBook "Rooms are gorgeous, spacious, comfortably modern and quiet, many with treetop park views."
Zagat3.5
"Tucked in a near-"perfect" location close to Grand Central, this Midtowner puts you "awfully close to where you need to be" and provides "great" views."

Michelin Guide "The James was a ground-up new construction hotel that is imbued with the artistic spirit that has made SoHo world famous."
Frommer's "A rooftop outdoor pool and an urban garden and herb garden off the second floor lobby add to the James’s appeal." Full review
Fodor's "A favorite of creative-types, businesspeople, fashionistas, and deep-pocketed regular Joes, the James, right on the edge of SoHo, never sacrifices comfort for style." Full review
Lonely Planet "The James plays with a variety of architectural elements in each of the hotel’s different spaces, and somehow they all seem to work beautifully." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Opened in September, 2010, this Modernist addition to SoHo has a permanent art collection and 114 rooms with natural linen bedding and reclaimed-wood floors." Full review
Time Out "Instead of merely replicating a successful formula, the owners have given the property a distinctly Gotham vibe—even the door staff sports rakish uniforms." Full review
Star Service "On the southern edge of SoHo, just north of Canal Street, this Chicago import has done a better job than most melding into its boho-chic neighborhood, thanks to a localist approach." Full review
Gayot "Perhaps The James' emphasis on green got to us. Even the small standard rooms here feel very bring-the-outside-in at this hot boutique hotel."
BlackBook "Soho border spot a walled city of chic, topped with lux rooms and a swinging rooftop cocktail/pool scene at Johnny Swet's Jimmy."
Zagat3.3
"Gushing guests "absolutely love the views" from the "amazing" rooftop pool and bar at this "modern" SoHo high-rise, a "favorite" thanks to the "spacious", "calming" quarters."
