Time Out
"In a city awash with faux deco and incongruous nods to the style, the Chatwal New York opened in August 2010 in a Stanford White building whose interior art deco restoration is pitch perfect." Full review
BlackBook
"Stanford White's Lambs Club becomes posh playpen. Sky's the limit for prices, but then they're hooking up suites and apartments in addition to standard luxury rooms."
