Concierge "Everything is swathed in periwinkle toile on dreamy white set off by rich blue carpeting that would make Yves Klein jealous."

Travel + Leisure "One of the most anticipated new hotels in the city, the Mondrian SoHo opened its 270 rooms in February 2011." Full review
Time Out "Inspired by Jean Cocteau’s La Belle et la Bête, Ortiz has created a fanciful interior in which lobby coffee tables have talons and floor lamps are shaded with petite parasols." Full review
BlackBook "Beauty and the Beast: lux hotel inspired by Jean Coucteau’s lush ’40s flick. Pass through topiary into surreal French-blue lobby."
Zagat3.3
"From the "whimsical" front garden to the "cutting-edge chic" interior design, this "oasis" in "sophisticated SoHo" is "one of the best-looking hotels Downtown"."
Star Service "A New York version of the Mondrian in Hollywood. So it's not surprising that this hotel has a movie theme, in this case Jean Cocteau's 1946 film La Belle et la Bete ("Beauty and the Beast")." Full review
The Telegraph7.0
"In keeping with the artists’ lofts that once filled the neighbourhood, this property features a cosmopolitan design with a sleek white palette."

Rough Guide "The Library’s concept, one of New York hostelry’s quirkier, has each floor devoted to one of the ten major categories of the Dewey Decimal System."
Michelin Guide "This place is one-of-a-kind and offers a different slant on harried midtown east."
Concierge "Apart from the good-looking rooms and appealing public spaces, including a rooftop bar and second-floor book-filled lounge, this hotel, located near Grand Central Terminal, wins points on generosity."
Fodor's "Bookishly handsome... the staff is hospitable, and the whole property is old-leather-armchair comfortable." Full review
Insight Guides "The nearby New York Public Library inspires this unique Midtown oasis, where lounges and guestrooms are filled with books."

You can choose your room according to a subject of interest to you (literature, science, erotica).
Travel + Leisure "Although nonbibliophiles may find it a tad precious, it's hard not to be charmed by the schtick of this bookish hotel." Full review
DK Eyewitness "This unique boutique hotel features cleverly designed rooms organized around a library theme."
Time Out "This bookish boutique hotel is organized on the principles of the Dewey decimal system—each of its ten floors is allocated a category, such as Literature, the Arts and General Knowledge." Full review
Gayot "It's fitting that this unique hotel resides just blocks from the famed New York Public Library. The property is crammed with more than 6,000 books, all arranged using the Dewey Decimal System."
BlackBook "Luxury boutique a tad close to Grand Central madness, manages to stay remarkably serene."
