Frommer's "Tamer than its Meatpacking District older sister, Gansevoort Meatpacking Hotel, the Gansevoort Park, which opened in 2010, still retains much of big sister’s cool glamour feel." Full review
Concierge "It all feels Miami by way of Madison Avenue, with a bar scene that bumps accordingly."
Fodor's "A downtown-hip hotel on the edge of lower Midtown, the Gansevoort Park improves upon its hard-living Meatpacking District sibling by several degrees." Full review

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."

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
