DK Eyewitness "This all-suite hotel is a great bet for families... fantastic views of the harbor and discounted weekend rates."
Time Out "This sophisticated Hilton offshoot Conrad has taken over a former Embassy Suites Hotel facing Battery Park City’s riverside Nelson A. Rockefeller Park." Full review
Star Service "For now, it's a good bargain, especially for families, and together with Ritz-Carlton and Four Seasons, this is one of the most service-minded properties in this part of town." Full review
Gayot "This soaring glass-enclosed space situated along the border of Battery Park City somehow manages to be at once grand but unimposing."
BlackBook "Guests at this luxe spot are greeted by a towering Sol LeWitt painting in the dramatic atrium, setting the tone for what is veritably a hotel-as-contemporary-art-gallery."

Michelin Guide "Midtown Manhattan hotels are notorious for their cramped quarters, but The Benjamin bucks the trend with a spectrum of spacious rooms and suites equipped with full galley kitchens."
Frommer's "All rooms are airy, but the deluxe studios and one-bedroom suites are extra large... If you are a light sleeper, book a room off Lexington Avenue, which can get busy most weeknights and mornings." Full review
Fodor's "NYC is often called the City that Never Sleeps, but if a good night's rest is essential for your visit, the Benjamin may be your choice accommodation." Full review
