What People Are Saying About The Mercer Hotel
Featured Review
Contributor
Contributor
Housed in a Romanesque Revival building, this hotel has the kind of minimalist interior that causes the non-hip to wonder if the place is still under construction. It caters to the ceelbrity set and the fashionable types who follow them around. There are only 75 rooms, some with fireplaces, and some overlooking the courtyard. Natural fibers, warm woods and, in many rooms, leather banquettes set the tone. Guests can relax in the library, the lobby that doubles as a lounge, the bar, or the highly rated below-ground restaurant, Mercer Kitchen, owned by local celeb chef Jean-Georges Vongrichten.

Mercer Hotel Has Perfected the Art of Rudeness
by NowBeNice
The Mercer Hotel is in a great location and a great building. My compliments end there. The price of the place is insane and some members of the hotel's staff think they are God's gift to humanity. They are rude, arrogant and unsmiling. Why? I've stayed in so many great hotels that are made great by the service. This one lives off its location, facility, and high-visibility clients. Why anyone would ever return to this place eludes me. It is like eating at a high-priced restaurant where the food is no good, but the ambiance is nice. If a luxury hotel comes with great sheets but rude service, what good is it? Really, unless rude people make you feel self-important, look for an alternative hotel that comes with a smile.
- Pros: I love SOHO and this is at the heart of SOHO. The lobby is very nice to sit in.
- Cons: Worst 'luxury hotel' service ever. Even the general manager is all too self-important.

Cool Location
by jen415
I loved my experience here! Great! My only complaint would be the size of the rooms in comparison to the price. Overall, my experience was great and I love the Soho shopping!
- Pros: Location
- Cons: Small Rooms

I liked the MUSE, too!!
by mispo
Nice place, but I would certainly not say to stay away from the Muse! The Muse is in an EXCELLENT location, within walking distance from just about everything people come to NY for! The Prescriptives bath products in the Muse's beautiful bathroom are the icing on the cake! Both exceptional, albeit expen$ive place$.....

High End Low Profile
by fgutzwiller
The Mercer is the best hotel in New York for people how got the few extra dollars to spend for an exclusive downtown setting without the package deal people. Strong L.A crowd (homeless fashion attitude). Being at the hotel also gives you access to the Submercer which still maintains a good underground existence. Room service from the Mercer Kitchen is unmatched. Go for the wasabi pizza when you check in.
- Pros: Style, Service, Food
- Cons: Facilities, Price, SOHO Freak Show
