The hotel

Thanks to a multi-million dollar makeover The Benjamin Hotel in Midtown Manhattan is looking hotter than ever and if you want to dive into a world of boutique luxury then right here is where you rip off the covers and get involved. Although the designs and modern touches are bang-up-to-date the level of customer commitment goes way back with pretty much 24-hr everything ranging from the front desk to the fitness room to the in-room spa and beauty services. The gourmet snack boxes alone will have you hungry for more and if you want a real taste of classic New York City style then check out The National Bar & Dining Rooms that's got grand café chic down to a tea. As The Benjamin Hotel stretches to almost 30 storeys there's no chance of getting lost in the city and as major attractions, such as the MET, the Empire State Building and Madison Avenue, are all just a few blocks away this is an excellent base to experience the best of the Big Apple. Finally, guest rooms have every box ticked with kitchenettes and mini-fridges ensuring you can definitely have your cake and eat it.

I chose to return to the Benjamin because of my excellent past experiences for another four day stay. Given the Cover 19 context, I was very focused on picking a hotel that would be very focused on maintaining the highest possible precautions. I was happy to find the Benjamin very disciplined here. All staff wore masks at all times and hand sanitizer was readily available in the lobby and near all elevator doors. I choose not to have daily room services and the staff accommodated this by picking up trash and used linens outside my door and leaving fresh supplies and towels in a bag outside my room. My room was very clean and appointed with all the comforts I have enjoyed on past visits. It was easy to order take out from nearby restaurants and bring it back to the room. Read less

I stayed at The Benjamin for a month when I came with a medical team to work at a hospital in NYC. This hotel exceeded my expectations - my room was perfect for an extended stay! I was happy to have a kitchen area and living space. It was very clean and all of the staff members that I encountered were extremely friendly and receptive to any requests. Despite it being difficult to leave my family behind for a month, it felt so nice to have such friendly people working there that greeted us in the morning when we left for work as well as when we returned many hours later. These workers made my experience so pleasurable even though we were there for difficult work!! Read less

I stayed here on business in March 2020, and was extremely impressed by the staff's dedication and accommodation. My 2-week trip was cut short due to the outbreak of the Covid-19 crisis, but before leaving a number of my meetings and presentations were changed from in-person events to conference calls. Anya the fabulous concierge helped to arrange use of the business event rooms to set up our computers for these meetings. Even though she too was facing a cancelled trip to celebrate her birthday, she went above and beyond to make her guests feel better. Thank you Anya! I would definitely stay here again. Read less

We stayed here last year after booking as part of a BA package and I'm so glad we did! The staff are all really friendly and helpful and when we got there they'd upgraded us to a suite as it was our first wedding anniversary, they even left some goodies in the room. The suite was lovely, so spacious with a MASSIVE comfy bed and the toiletries in the bathroom were great quality too. Didn't have much of a view from the room but that doesn't matter when we weren't in it much. It's a great location, close to central park, grand central station, Rockefeller, times square etc. I'd say the only drawback to the area is the nightlife - it was either really expensive hotel bars or Irish pubs, nothing really in between. Next time we visit New York I would probably stay further down so that we experience different areas but I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again or recommend it! Read less
