"There is nothing not to like here, with the exception of the steep rates: this kind of luxury does not come cheap." Full review

"An haute hideaway on Manhattan's Upper East Side since 1927, the venerable Mark reopened last fall with a radical new look, trading in its erstwhile French pedigree for Parisian pop."

"If you took every Upper East Side real estate fantasy and condensed it into a modern hotel, you'd come up with the Mark." Full review

"On the corner of Madison Avenue at 77th Street, this rather showy Upper East Side (UES) address has settled into its revamp, but still manages to create a buzz." Full review

Be sure to take time to relax at the open-air Rooftop Garden bar, which is open for drinks in the warmer months, although the garden is open year-round.

"Perhaps the Flatiron District’s finest full-service luxury hotel, the rooms are decorated with custom furnishings invoking the Moderne style."

"Part of Library Hotel Collection, which also runs the Library Hotel and Hotel Elysée, the Giraffe confines references to the titular animal to tasteful artwork." Full review
Gayot Gayot
"Hotel Giraffe is far more chic and fun than most nearby lodgings."
BlackBook BlackBook
"Glitzy boutique from the peeps behind the Library, Elysée, and Casablanca. Not cheap, rooms a tad tiny, but only seven to a floor so you won't feel trapped in a hive."
