"An East Village stay that trades on superb service and a salon-like lobby atmosphere, where metal room keys with oversize red tassels set the tone; 135 rooms combine lived-in comforts (mohair chairs, Turkish Oushak rugs, hardwood floors) with luxurious touches like marble bathrooms and deep soaking tubs, while on-site dining at Gemma offers Italian fare and the Lobby Bar provides a timeless spot for classic and cleverly riffed cocktails." - Jennifer Flowers
"The 17-story, old world-inspired hotel at 335 Bowery, full of dark wood and velvet and Oriental rugs, has serious pull, and not just for booking one of the 135 rooms—just try to get a seat in the lobby or outdoor terrace for a drink and see. The many A-listers who've stayed overnight include Jennifer Lopez, Liv Tyler, and David Beckham."
"Walking into the lobby at The Bowery feels like stepping back into a Gothic version of the nineteenth century—or at least, a movie set from someone with a gothic vision. Dimly lit and oozing atmosphere, it's a world of crimson velvet, dark leather and wood, threadbare Oriental rugs and oil paintings. The effect is transportive to another time, but somehow still rooted in downtown NYC. The view from one of the upper floors is something you'll never get tired of, and is worth the splurge. The Bowery's in-house restaurant, Gemma, is a solid choice on warm evenings—grab an outdoor table and get ready for some of the best people-watching in NYC. After dinner, few places are better for a glass of red than the lobby lounge (its fireplace makes the atmosphere even better)." - John Wogan, Nicole Schnitzler, CNT Editors, Sandra Ramani
"Awarded one Michelin key as a property offering a very special stay, this New York hotel is noted for period-inspired design, consistent service and comfort, and a well-established character within its neighborhood." - Stacey Lastoe
"Entering the lobby of the Bowery Bar at The Bowery Hotel in downtown Manhattan feels like stepping on to the set of a vintage noir film." - The MICHELIN Guide
