Rough Guide Star
"The first thing you’ll notice at Roger Williams is the use of colour; the Scandinavian/Japanese fusion rooms utilize both mellow and vibrant tones."
Frommer's "One of the top choices in what is a quiet yet convenient Midtown location." Full review
Fodor's "A colorful choice in a rather plain neighborhood, the Roger continues to have a following among repeat visitors to New York, especially since its 2012 redesign." Full review
Jetsetter "Dapper New York dandy with classic cocktails and New American fare on Madison Avenue." Full review
DK Eyewitness "A stylish option for those with a little more to spend, and the amenities make it worth the price – free breakfast, all-day serve-yourself coffee and treats, and a DVD library."
Star Service "There is nothing ironic or skeptical or raunchy about it. It's just a refreshing, clean, well-lighted oasis of hospitality." Full review
Gayot "This hotel is a charmer that appeals to the fashion crowd. It's located near The Morgan Library and the Fashion District."
BlackBook "Comfortably sleeps the business associate on the road or the in-tune out-of-towner. Simple, modern, sophisticated style features plenty of color."
Lonely Planet "A cheery little boutique hotel in a great locale."

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

With a menu of 12 pillows to choose from (including buckwheat, water, and Swedish memory varieties), white-noise machines, and 400-thread-count sheets, they've got it covered.

Lonely Planet "If you like your morning oatmeal at just-so temperature, but need some Midtown luxury, the 26-floor Benjamin has kitchenettes in all of its 209 rooms." Full review

Travel + Leisure "Housed in a 1927 Beaux-Arts building designed by famed architect Emery Roth, this midtown hotel is located within a mile of Times Square." Full review
DK Eyewitness "The modern rooms in this low-key hotel are designed for comfort. The work stations are perfect for business travelers."
