"If a large sum of money ever comes your way, rent a whole floor here and live-in permanently (many of the guests do) – the stunning views of Central Park are worth it."
Fodor's
"The Sherry is a stately part of the New York landscape so it may come as a surprise to learn that it's essentially a tall, luxurious apartment building that also has 50 hotel rooms and suites." Full review

Travel + Leisure
"Room 211: this large room, with crystal chandeliers, brocade upholstery, and a separate seating area, overlooks General Motors Plaza but it's hear-a-pin-drop quiet, thanks to double-paneled windows." Full review
DK Eyewitness
"A little less stuffy than next-door neighbor The Pierre, this old-world style hotel defines residential living in New York City. Suites are enormous, and the service is top-of-the-class."
Star Service
"More than most in its class, this place gives guests the feeling of being a moneyed local, one who can revel in the gilt-ridden faded Continental style.

"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."

Concierge

Fodor's

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."
