"The first thing you’ll notice at Roger Williams is the use of colour; the Scandinavian/Japanese fusion rooms utilize both mellow and vibrant tones."
Frommer's
"One of the top choices in what is a quiet yet convenient Midtown location." Full review
Fodor's
"A colorful choice in a rather plain neighborhood, the Roger continues to have a following among repeat visitors to New York, especially since its 2012 redesign." Full review
Jetsetter
"Dapper New York dandy with classic cocktails and New American fare on Madison Avenue." Full review
DK Eyewitness
"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."
Star Service

Gayot
"This hotel is a charmer that appeals to the fashion crowd. It's located near The Morgan Library and the Fashion District."
BlackBook

Lonely Planet

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

"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."
