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

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 Telegraph9.0
"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
OysterLuxury
"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.
