"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
"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

"Sets a new standard for bohemian chic."
Michelin Guide
"In the middle of it all, you can quite literally get anywhere from here, but pull up a chair and stay awhile. It's the real deal, nailing that beatnik sensibility, and it even comes with a past."
Fodor's
"The vibe is unstuffy and down-to-earth, making it a popular hangout for creatives and people who work from wherever they lay their laptop."

"Combine the old-world charm of 1904 surroundings with a boho-chic vibe and what do you get? Hipster heaven."
DK Eyewitness
"The Ace Hotel channels a youthful rock-n-roll vibe: many of the large rooms come with vintage furniture, full-size refrigerator, and even a turntable and guitar."
