Michelin Guide "The Surrey's location may be knee deep in the old-monied world of the Upper East Side, but its quietly elegant flair is as new as a spring lamb."
Concierge "The suites, while very large, feel corporate."
Lonely Planet "This steely Upper East Side gem – literally, everything is decorated in silvery shades of grey – is all about luxury." Full review
