The Benjamin Review

From the retro sign and clock on Lexington Avenue to the high-ceilinged marble lobby, when you enter the Benjamin, it’s as if you’ve stepped into the Jazz Era of 1920s New York. But the in-room amenities are definitely 21st-century high-tech. All rooms are airy, but the deluxe studios and one-bedroom suites are extra large. There are a few one-bedroom suites with terraces. The hotel features a “sleep concierge” who guarantees a good night’s sleep, and a pillow menu with 11 options, including buckwheat and Swedish Memory. I chose the standard down pillow and did not have to exercise the guarantee. If you are a light sleeper, book a room off Lexington Avenue, which can get busy most weeknights and mornings. The hotel also features a good fitness center and the Wellness Spa.

Facilities:
Restaurant; concierge; exercise room; room service; full-service spa; valet service; sleep concierge

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
