Fodor's

"A stylish option for those with a little more to spend, and the amenities make it worth the price – free breakfast, all-day serve-yourself coffee and treats, and a DVD library."

"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."

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."

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."
Zagat
3.5
"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."
