ABOUT
The Setting
The Benjamin Hotel is centrally located amidst the bustling Midtown Manhattan. Recently renovated, the original architecture from 1927 combines historic design with contemporary charm. It’s like the James Bond of hotels. Wellness takes center stage, where the motto is for guests to “be at your best.” That motto of being at one’s best could equally be said of this Manhattan hotel, where impeccable service is woven through its five tenants of restful sleep, nourishment, exercise, personal care, and inspiration. Dare we say a match made for heaven?
Sleep and Sanctuary
The Benjamin boasts more than 200 rooms (yes, a boutique hotel with 200 rooms) designed with sleep in mind with blackout curtains, white noise machines, and an expertly curated pillow menu by the hotel’s sleep expert Dr. Rebecca Robbins. The sanctuaries (mostly suites) are discreet and serene, with amenities that include HDTVs (with on-command movies to boot) and Wi-Fi access (for a nominal fee, though complimentary in the lobby and restaurant). The room renovations will make Nature lovers rejoice, with green features that include individually controlled thermostats, low-flow faucets, energy-efficient lighting and A/C energy savers. It’s like you’re saving the planet by traveling!
Eat. Pray. Eat.
Iron Chef Geoffrey Zakarian leads the culinary team at the Benjamin, and his talent shines through every dish at the restaurant. Let the National figuratively whisk you off to Paris with its European-style bistro décor, open for every meal of the day. The best part? The National Sessions–where every Sunday night, live music hits the stage for some jazzy wining and dining from 6-10pm.
