"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."

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
