We had an excellent stay at The Benjamin. Our room was great as it was on the 26th floor with a view of the Empire State Building. The staff in the dining room were especially nice and really wanted to please us. I would definitely stay there again when traveling to New York.

Fantastic hotel that embodies the classic New York feel! The staff were all so wonderful to us from the warm welcome to bringing their specialty pillows upon request. The hotel has beautiful furnishings, a restaurant on site and the small kitchenette in our room was an added bonus. Would definitely recommend staying here while visiting New York!
