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

Michelin Guide "The esteemed Plaza is neck and neck with the Waldorf-Astoria in the race for New York's most recognizable hotel."
Fodor's "Eloise's adopted home on the corner of Central Park, the Plaza is one of New York's most storied hotels, hosting all manner of dignitaries, moneymakers, and royalty." Full review
Lonely Planet "Suitably set in a landmark French Renaissance-style building, its 282 guestrooms are a suitably regal affair, with sumptuous Louis XV-style furniture and 24-carat gold-plated bathroom faucets." Full review

Travel + Leisure "For a European-palace-style experience, this is the only game in town." Full review
DK Eyewitness "New York’s 1907 Grande Dame has emerged from a $400-million face-lift agleam with Baccarat chandeliers, vast expanses of marble, and large, luxurious rooms."
Time Out "The opulent vibe extends to the bathrooms, which feature mosaic baths, 24-carat gold-plated sink fittings and even chandeliers—perhaps to make the foreign royals feel at home." Full review
Star Service "Guests here enjoy housekeeping service twice daily, same-day laundry and dry cleaning, round-the-clock room service, babysitting, and a liberal pet policy." Full review
Gayot "The conversion of some of its guest rooms into residences aside, The Plaza has been and continues to be quintessential New York City."
