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

Rough Guide "Frequented by celebrities, this handsome pair of 1834 brownstones ranks as one of the most exclusive guesthouses in the city."
Michelin Guide "Luckily, you don't need a dowry to taste the high life; a reservation at the Inn at Irving Place works just fine. It is the age of elegance here, where a dainty dozen accommodations await guests."
Frommer's "This 170-year-old town house offers antique charm more easily found in the Berkshires than in the heart of what used to be Silicon Alley." Full review
Concierge "More country than town, the two 1834 brownstones near Gramercy Park at East 17th Street that house this 12-room inn are all 19th-century charm."
Fodor's "Fantasies of Old New York... spring to life at this discreet, romantic inn." Full review
Insight Guides "Those in search of cutting-edge style will do well to look elsewhere, but the antiques-filled milieu... and personalized service will suit any traveler looking to indulge in gentler times."
Lonely Planet "Richly Victorian, this intimate and exquisite 11-room red-brick townhouse dates from 1834 and is stuffed with period pieces and rosy patterns of days past."
