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."
Zagat
3.3
"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."

Gayot
"Sophisticated decor includes oversize paneled walnut headboards, a sleek neutral color palette and fur throw-covered beds."
Zagat
"The historic MetLife clock tower overlooking Madison Square Park has been revived as a luxury hotel whose understated vibe stands in stark contrast to the bustle of NoMad just outside its doors."
Travel + Leisure
"The 273 rooms have sleek furniture and sizable showers, and many look out on the Empire State Building." Full review
Forbes Travel Guide
4 Stars
"Taking up residence in a historic clock tower (once the tallest building in the city), The New York Edition is the epitome of understated elegance." Full review
Jetsetter
"New York it-spot in a Madison Square Park landmark with a destination restaurant and a buzzy library bar." Full review
The Telegraph
9.0
"This was once the tallest building in the world and modelled after the bell tower of Venice’s St. Mark’s Basilica. Today, it’s a modern, airy clubhouse." Full review
Mr & Mrs Smith
"It’s bang on Madison Square, literally eye-to-eye with the Flatiron, but you’ll not hear one siren squeal; one yellow cab beep; or even the shouts from an overzealous frat party." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler
Readers' Choice Award
"The Edition is a couple hundred dollars less than the luxury mainstays you'd find further uptown, but it's just as comfortable." Full review
Oyster
Luxury
"The historic 1909 Met Life clocktower that the property resides in is a highlight in itself, while another top perk is the on-site Michelin-starred restaurant." Full review
Fodor's
"Based around the “hotel as a private home,” this is the sort of house you hope to get invited to dinner." Full review

Should the Lobby Bar be too much of a scene, jog upstairs to the Bar, adjacent to Clocktower, for pints and flights and a round of pool.
