The Benjamin Hotel

The Benjamin Hotel ranks 4th in the list of best hotels near Rockefeller Center. This Beaux-Arts gem was designed by architect Emery Roth and recently redesigned by Lauren Rottet to complement its thoughtful services and amenities, such as restful solutions by sleep expert Dr. Rebecca Robbins and Winks' Kidzzz Club for families. Guestrooms with kitchenettes to one-bedroom terrace suites are available. The National by Chef Geoffrey Zakarian is housed on the first floor and showcases modern bistro cuisine in a chic, grand café reminiscent of something you'd find on the Left Bank. It was named "one of the 50 favorite restaurants" by The New York Times. Federico Calce, known for his celebrity hairstyles, also has his eponymous Federico Hair & Spa at The Benjamin.V

This pet-friendly hotel has kitchenettes with microwaves and sinks in all rooms (some suites have full-size fridges), making it popular with both families and business travelers. The decor is simple in beige and cream tones, with an emphasis on comfort: Choose from a selection of 12 pillows, including buckwheat-filled, Swedish memory foam, and antisnoring options. You can even ask the sleep concierge to arrange for milk and cookies or a white-noise machine to help you sleep. The National Bar & Dining Rooms, designed by David Rockwell, is a chic, David Rockwell-designed bistro from Iron Chef Geoffrey Zakarian.
