Located at the heart of Midtown East Manhattan, this 5-star New York City hotel occupies a neo-Romanesque landmark building. The Benjamin Royal Sonesta features 209 rooms and suites ranging from 275 to 1620 square feet, including accommodations with private terraces and balconies. Guest spaces offer kitchenettes, herringbone wood floors, and marble bathrooms with Elemis amenities. The property's signature Rest & Renew program, developed by sleep expert Dr. Rebecca Robbins, provides a 10-choice pillow menu and meditation services.

Pros

Official New York City landmark status since 2017

Residentially-styled suites feature full kitchenettes and separate living areas

Specialized kids' sleep program with custom amenities

On-site Royal Reflection Wellness Spa offering massages and treatments

Cons

9.5 miles distance from LaGuardia Airport

Limited dining options within the hotel property

“This Midtown Manhattan landmark certainly aims high, offering residential-style suites near Rockefeller Center. Its sleep program stands out-a thoughtful touch. However, some reports raise concerns about cleanliness and service consistency that potential guests should consider.”
