Rough Guide
"If a large sum of money ever comes your way, rent a whole floor here and live-in permanently (many of the guests do) – the stunning views of Central Park are worth it."

"The Sherry is a stately part of the New York landscape so it may come as a surprise to learn that it's essentially a tall, luxurious apartment building that also has 50 hotel rooms and suites." Full review

"Room 211: this large room, with crystal chandeliers, brocade upholstery, and a separate seating area, overlooks General Motors Plaza but it's hear-a-pin-drop quiet, thanks to double-paneled windows." Full review

"A little less stuffy than next-door neighbor The Pierre, this old-world style hotel defines residential living in New York City. Suites are enormous, and the service is top-of-the-class."
Star Service
"More than most in its class, this place gives guests the feeling of being a moneyed local, one who can revel in the gilt-ridden faded Continental style.
