Time Out

Gayot
"Decor elements pay homage to the building's industrial beginnings with cast-iron railings, exposed wood beams and other retro accents."
BlackBook
"B-burg boutique in a gutted 1901 cooperage. Seventy-two rooms outfitted with custom wood beds made of recycled pine from the old factory."
Zagat

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
Oyster
Luxury

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
