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."

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

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.
