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."

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
"The Mercer's 75 loft-style guest rooms, beautiful staff, stylish lobby/lounge, personalized service, and swanky SoHo location make it a go-to choice for celebrities." Full review
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
