- AFAR MediaAugust 12, 2014Hotel guests are treated like kings and queens during their stay, with warm chocolate-chip cookie deliveries, fantastic skyline views and wine & cheese plates offered during the late-afternoon hours. Read more
- Madeline JohnsonAugust 13, 2017My mom stays here on her visits and always has an amazing experience. The pool closes so early it's not even worth it- they prioritize private events a little too much IMO. Still our fave though!
- Paige CJune 10, 2017Beautiful hotel with lots of amazing terraces and outdoor spaces! Dog friendly. Great place to host an event or party.
- TylerJune 29, 2019Look, the place is stunning, artsy, and central. The staff is accommodating but the guests are NOT the priority, the special events are. If you came for the pool, get this: it shuts down after 2pm.
- Time Out New YorkMay 6, 2015Starting in May, Serene revives its open-air yoga sessions on the roof deck of the James hotel in Soho. Instructor Brigitte Bourdeau leads each hour-long Thursday class.
- Quite a unique boutique hotel, creative, artistic and modern. Nice garden and pool, great bars (Jimmy and Treehouse), amazing restaurant (David Burke's The Kitchen). Yet small rooms, non-noise proof
- Michael ClarkeOctober 19, 2014Love this hotel. We stayed in room 803 which is a corner king room on the 8th floor facing south with amazing views of One World Trade Center.
- Patrick K.July 6, 2017The rooftop pool is more of a water feature, than a utility. 200 people on the rooftop during a 85 degree sunny July afternoon; 0 people in the pool. Why bother? Plank it over and add seating.
- Arjan TimmermansAugust 9, 2014Stylish and sleek. An oasis in the hustle and bustle of New York City. Located in close proximity of Soho and TriBeCa.
- KAYAKJuly 10, 2012Forget the fact that this place was on Conde Naste Traveller magazine's 2011 hotel list – it’s ALL about the bar here. The rooftop bar, Jimmy’s, gives you 360-degree views of the Manhattan skyline
- Condé Nast TravelerApril 12, 2011The James is vertically bookended by David Burke Kitchen, the basement restaurant, and Jimmy, a rooftop cocktail bar from the team behind the West Village's chic Hotel Griffou.
- Top10January 22, 2015This classy, upscale hotel is sure to please with its outstanding, world-renowned views of NYC.
- Nice and helpful staff, great location. Better not get a room on the top level because the rooftop bar above makes a lot of noise.
- ScottAugust 19, 2012The corner rooms are definitly the pick, with floor to ceiling windows and great cityscape views towards Tribeca.
- Great hotel, funky roof bar, happy staff. Building was designed as Condos so not enough lifts, check your bill for random $200 charges from Jimmy's roof bar
- woken up to the guy in the next room calling his wife, at 6am. V friendly staff, rooms are like The Standard - glass shower looking into the bedroom
- Roman GarciaOctober 25, 2010Order up a round of Manhattans and let the sweeping views of the good parts of New York into your life for one brief evening. Read more
- If you have prepaid your room, make sure they don't place an additional hold on your card for the full value of your stay!
- Jungeun KimApril 28, 2012David Burke Kitchen has one of the best Mac&Cheeses in Manhattan. They charge extra 5 bucks for the room svc. (except for service charge) The location is ok but I may not come here again.
- Don't overlook the keyboard keys artwork on the wall of the lobby stairs.
- Andrew ClarkOctober 29, 2011BASIC ass hotel that can't follow through with simple party arrangements...if you are here for an event...run before they steal your money!
- Daniel BenettiMay 3, 2015Terrible service, what a shame for a pretty decent venue. Also, pool looks like a petri dish.
- Mackenzie M.October 29, 2011Don't plan a birthday here. One management team won't communicate with the other, and kick everyone out, threatening no refund... FUCK THE JAMES.
- ShaunOctober 29, 2011Bedbugs all over the penthouse. No wonder they didn't want us to stay here. Ruined the entire night.
