The Beekman

Financial District, New York

Virgin rating

The hotel

Built in the same decade as the Brooklyn Bridge, The Beekman had stiff competition when it came to architectural neighbours – but its glamour and grace granted it kudos with the building buffs of the 19th century – and today. This skyscraper’s kept its drama with its marble entrance, Persian rug-slung lobby, and Victorian balustrade-draped atrium, which stretches nine storeys skyward before being capped with a glass pyramid. It’s not just opulent in design though, with its ‘nothing’s-too-much-trouble’ service and dining scene mirroring its old-world splendour and new-world luxury. Two of Manhattan’s finest names are behind The Beekman’s restaurants: Tom Colicchio reinterprets old and new classics at Temple Court, while Keith McNally recreates French brasserie elegance at Augustine. Or you could join the socialites (and sometimes celebs) at The Alley Cat for cocktails and Japanese Izakaya comfort food.

Really good hotel but not sure if I would consider it a “five star” property. TV wasn’t working properly in my room and the shower tub drainage was poor. Food was amazing and overall we had a positive experience except for the few shortcomings mentioned above.
Image of the Tripadvisor rating Beautiful and unique hotel with great history and excellent service.

If you are looking for an authentic New York City experience with a wonderful staff and excellent food/beverage options then I highly recommend the Beekman Hotel. The room had an authentic NYC aesthetic with décor and attention to detail blends historical elements with a modern freshness.

This is super cute rooftop and if you can snag a table looking East even better as you get to look over the river towards Brooklyn. Not pretentious and super cool art deco vibe. Great cocktail at a reasonable price. Be prepared, most seating is inside but makes for a comfortable experience.
Image of the Tripadvisor rating Lovely to look at, and maybe to be seen - but for cocktails, NOT overnight. Dirty, Loud and Dated.

The architectural 'bones' of this property are stunning - but go for the bar (loud, seats are quite deep and actually not that comfortable) and food (Tom Coliccio cuisine, meant to be hearty/satisfying but really, kinda' greasy); and make sure you don't mind the dark (lighting is romantic/cool - would be if the place weren't so loud ALL THE TIME)… Read more
The architectural 'bones' of this property are stunning - but go for the bar (loud, seats are quite deep and actually not that comfortable) and food (Tom Coliccio cuisine, meant to be hearty/satisfying but really, kinda' greasy); and make sure you don't mind the dark (lighting is romantic/cool - would be if the place weren't so loud ALL THE TIME) and the bonus of it being dark, can't see the messy floors and worn parts (walls, bathroom fixtures). Don't plan on getting to sleep before 12 midnight when the restaurant closes because even early in the week, the lobby level restaurant is like an amphitheater for loud people who enjoy getting louder as they get poured drinks from the lovely lighting. 3 night business stay and 2 nights in a row, some loud, unendingly shriek woman seems to get no encouragement to tone it down just a touch. Like psychotic theater - at first I thought a fight was breaking out but no, it's just ... a really really loud restaurant, just outside your door (which has turn of the century architectural charm, but no joint seams, so near zero sound isolation. Rooms - similarly high ceiling cool but ... floors are dirty, water pressure in showers is last century, moldy showers, and questions of rodent cohabitants. Glasses on the impressive bar set have last been cleaned ... pre-pandemic? unclear - both the glasses, and the timing of when they were last washed. The gym is a joke - but in this regard, many NYC hotels are in the same league. A positive? The courtesy coffee from 6am. But, next time, I'll stay at the Conrad and buy my coffee and drink it from a clean cup, while standing in my bare feet on clean floors, not in my sneakers wondering about smeared rodent droppings and dog poop dust that is invisible to the naked eye, but seems to smell like it's there.

Hotel was good. Location was adequet. Even though the thermostat was set low it still seemed warm. Bed/pillows were not the greatest.
