Chambers bills itself as a Soho hotel with a Midtown address, and truth be told, that’s not far off the mark — up here in the Fifties, off the main shopping drag of Fifth Avenue, the last thing one expects to see is a small boutique hotel with loft-style guest rooms and fashion-forward, subtly Eastern interiors. Yet that’s precisely what Chambers is, and its uniqueness has made it something of a hit, miles from both the stuffy high seriousness of the midtown luxury hotels and the relentless whimsy of the youth-market boutiques.
Oversized wooden doors and a towering fireplace open up a surprisingly spacious lobby, remarkable given the limitations of the compact space the hotel has to work with. Upstairs each floor’s landing and corridors are individually designed by a different artist — some are upbeat and sunny, others darker and moodier.
Not at all dark or moody, however, are the guest rooms, fashioned after downtown artists’ lofts, all open space and rough-finished concrete walls, hung with contemporary artworks and fitted with stylish modern furnishings. Platform beds are piled with fine linens, flat-screen televisions and DVD players are standard, and the sleek modern bathrooms are stocked with Red Flower organic bath products.
Some of the pricier suites come with private terraces, offering sublime city views — these are perfect for entertaining, and sizeable enough for bigger functions if need be. The mezzanine and lobby lounges are a modern midtown meeting point, and outside? If you can’t find what you’re looking for within five blocks of 56th and 5th, it probably doesn’t exist.

What I liked:
Really nice location for mid-town shopping...
What the hotel could do better:
Breakfast at Ma Peche was overpriced, under-produced and sad. I would not choose to eat there again. Miniature pastries for maximum price.
Staff was not particularly friendly. Service was what I would call minimal.

What I liked:
The folks at the front desk are very accommodating and the lobby is lovely. The rooms are well thought out and well designed and you can't beat the location.
What the hotel could do better:
The bar/restaurant is a disaster from the second you sit down from decor to common courtesy The staff is more interested in talking amongst themselves about the most mundane things and could care about customers. The menu is a mess is items. And get rid of that horrid music here and in that cute "Milk Bar" which offers coffee and snacks. Do yourself a favor and go a block away to West 58th to Fika, a most excellent Swedish, not so pretentious coffee/lunch bar, for a much better experience and food.
