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.

Rough Guide "If a large sum of money ever comes your way, rent a whole floor here and live-in permanently (many of the guests do) – the stunning views of Central Park are worth it."
Fodor's "The Sherry is a stately part of the New York landscape so it may come as a surprise to learn that it's essentially a tall, luxurious apartment building that also has 50 hotel rooms and suites." Full review

"The Sherry-Netherland is one of New York’s grand dames." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Room 211: this large room, with crystal chandeliers, brocade upholstery, and a separate seating area, overlooks General Motors Plaza but it's hear-a-pin-drop quiet, thanks to double-paneled windows." Full review
DK Eyewitness "A little less stuffy than next-door neighbor The Pierre, this old-world style hotel defines residential living in New York City. Suites are enormous, and the service is top-of-the-class."
Star Service "More than most in its class, this place gives guests the feeling of being a moneyed local, one who can revel in the gilt-ridden faded Continental style.

Gayot "Nestled amid Central Park and the Grand Army Plaza, this European style gem is a throwback to Old World charm."

"There's "lots of history" in this 1927 "grand hotel", which "embodies old-school New York opulence" from the "great" location off Central Park."
Forbes Travel Guide Recommended
