Rough Guide
"The interior is a showcase for contemporary design; standard “salons” (rooms) have been beautifully furnished with ornate carpets, hand-crafted wardrobes and funky, modern desks."
Michelin Guide
"The Surrey's location may be knee deep in the old-monied world of the Upper East Side, but its quietly elegant flair is as new as a spring lamb."
Concierge
"The suites, while very large, feel corporate."
Lonely Planet
"This steely Upper East Side gem – literally, everything is decorated in silvery shades of grey – is all about luxury." Full review

"This 190-room hotel on the Upper East Side is ready to pull guests away from the nearby Carlyle with room service by Cafe Boulud." Full review
Travel + Leisure

DK Eyewitness
"This all-suite hotel is a lovely choice for those willing to spend extra on dramatically more space."

"The centerpiece is undoubtedly the incredibly comfortable DUX by Duxiana bed... coupled with the hotel’s quiet location, it practically guarantees your best sleep ever." Full review
Star Service
"Service operates on a high level, with guests at reception being escorted right to their guest rooms, while a Les Clefs d'Or concierge seemingly holds the keys to the city." Full review
Gayot

"This ever-sleek hotel delivers space, style, and a fantastic location all rolled into one gorgeous package."
Frommer's
"The quintessential midtown Manhattan hotel... The rooms are spacious, with big windows providing spectacular views." Full review
Concierge
"While the echoing chambers are big, they feel a bit impersonal—better for biz execs, perhaps, than starry-eyed lovers."
Fodor's
"Stylish and sophisticated, the London NYC merges the flair of both its namesake cities, with the added bonus of Gordon Ramsay's first stateside restaurant." Full review
Lonely Planet
"This luxe hotel salutes the British capital in sophisticated ways, including a silk-stitched tapestry of Hyde Park... in the lobby, and a Michelin-starred restaurant by Gordon Ramsay." Full review

Luxury
"This stylish, all-suite hotel is one of the best luxury deals around." Full review
Travel + Leisure
"Since opening in late 2006, the London may have received less press than its Gordon Ramsay-run in-house restaurant, but this elegant, all-suite hotel justly deserves its own following." Full review
DK Eyewitness
"A charming mural of Hyde Park marks this 54-story tower, an all-suite hotel with some of the city’s largest accommodations, and smartly refurbished by British designer David Collins."
Time Out
"Space is perhaps the biggest luxury: The 350–500-square-foot London Suites (the starting-priced accommodations) are either open-plan or divided with mirrored French doors." Full review
Star Service
"It is in a convenient location two blocks from Broadway or Fifth Avenue shops. (Judging from the number of guests swinging designer tote bags, shopping is one of the primary occupations here.)." Full review
