"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."

"Frequented by celebrities, this handsome pair of 1834 brownstones ranks as one of the most exclusive guesthouses in the city."
Michelin Guide
"Luckily, you don't need a dowry to taste the high life; a reservation at the Inn at Irving Place works just fine. It is the age of elegance here, where a dainty dozen accommodations await guests."
Frommer's
"This 170-year-old town house offers antique charm more easily found in the Berkshires than in the heart of what used to be Silicon Alley."
