Fantastic hotel that embodies the classic New York feel! The staff were all so wonderful to us from the warm welcome to bringing their specialty pillows upon request. The hotel has beautiful furnishings, a restaurant on site and the small kitchenette in our room was an added bonus. Would definitely recommend staying here while visiting New York!

There are 2 elevators for the entire 25 floors of thebuilding plus a Service elevator. One elevator was broken for 4 days and still not fixed upon checkout. There was no communication, no apology, no help with luggage. Elevator wait time was over 20mintes and eventually had to walk luggage down 18 flights. No reduction of bill….nothing. Furniture in suites may be new, but barren and uncomfortable. TV operation is difficult and hard to manage. Looks like system is from 1980s and the bathrooms for the suites are tiny. Thank goodness the mid-town location and proximity to the subway was excellent or the stay would have been a bust.

5-Star Review: A Hidden Gem in Midtown East – Perfect for Families! 🌟 From the moment we walked into The Benjamin Royal Sonesta, I knew we chose the right place. The staff were incredibly friendly, warm, and inviting — the kind of genuine hospitality that immediately puts you at ease, especially when you’re traveling alone with three kids. The atmosphere felt like stepping back into a refined 1920s New York, with a classy, old-New-York charm that made the whole stay feel special. The location could not have been more perfect. Our corner was calm, safe, and easy to navigate — not overly busy or chaotic. We were right beside the New York Luncheonette and Smith & Wollensky, which made meals effortless. And despite how peaceful the area was, it was still an easy walk to Times Square, Rockefeller Center, Saks, and Central Park. Truly the best of both worlds. Our suite was incredibly spacious — a rare find in Manhattan. We had two large rooms, a kitchenette, two big screen TVs, beautiful windows that opened for fresh air, and everything was spotless. Housekeeping was amazing; when we ran out of toothpaste, they brought it up immediately with a smile. The hotel restaurant deserves its own praise. We were running late for the Harry Potter Broadway show, and they still managed to prepare fresh meals for all four of us in under eight minutes. That level of service is above and beyond. Every part of our stay felt cared for, easy, and safe. As a mom traveling solo with kids, that m
