Rough Guide
"The interior is a showcase for contemporary design; standard “salons” (rooms) have been beautifully furnished with ornate carpets, hand-crafted wardrobes and funky, modern desks."
Michelin Guide

Michelin Guide
"The hotel is swank on its own terms, offering a thing or two its Manhattan peers would be hard pressed to provide."
Fodor's

Upscale
"With a hopping rooftop bar boasting jaw-dropping views of Manhattan, a wonderful restaurant, and cutting-edge industrial design, the Wythe is a destination unto itself." Full review

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
