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

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."

"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 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

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
