Travelers who've never experienced New York wonder how they'll ever sleep amidst the noise of honking taxicabs, fire engines, and other insistent vehicles that make the city one of America's noisiest. The Benjamin Hotel, in the heart of midtown, has taken up the challenge. Not only does The Benjamin Hotel feature soundproofed windows, it also has a sleep concierge who can assist guests in selecting from 10 types of pillows for the ultimate night's sleep. Add to that a comfy king-size bed with a specially designed mattress, padded headboard, Frette sheets and a down-filled duvet, and a Bose Wave radio at bedside and you've got the perfect sleeping environment.

A true respite from the clamor of the city, The Benjamin Hotel is a boutique property with a host of comforting amenities that may entice you to stay put. From the well-equipped galley kitchen, complete with a full-size refrigerator, to the CD stereo to the 27"-inch Web-enabled TV, this is a perfect New York lovenest. The Benjamin Hotel also offers high-speed Internet access

Located at 125 East 50th street, just off Lexington Avenue, The Benjamin Hotel makes getting around easy. The 49th Street crosstown bus will take you to Rockefeller Center and the Theater District in no time, and other buses and subway lines are close by.

Don't have your bearings quite yet? The concierge in the lobby will dispense directions, make restaurant reservations for you, and help you decide which of New York City's many attractions to visit.

Opened in 1999, The Benjamin Hotel spent $30 million dollars to restore a classic 1927 building carefully to its original grandeur. The neo-classical lobby features Venetian-style mirrors, resplendent floral displays, and marble surroundings. Room decor is modern yet comfortable, with a comfy sleep sofa, a velvety high-backed chair fit for a king or queen, and an oversized hassock that also works as a coffee table.

Inside The Benjamin Hotel you'll also find the Woodstock Spa & Wellness Center. Its most popular treatment, La Stone Massage, alternates deep-penetrating heated basalt stones with cold marble stones. But after a night here you may be so relaxed you won't need that.
