What The Benjamin Royal Sonesta New York actually is
The Benjamin occupies a 1927 Emery Roth building on Lexington Avenue at 50th Street, and it has built its identity around sleep — a pillow menu with a dozen options, a sleep concierge, blackout treatments and a rest guarantee. It sounds like marketing until you use it.
Rooms are larger than the Midtown average and many include kitchenettes, which suits longer stays. The location is solid Midtown East: Grand Central is five minutes' walk, Rockefeller Center ten, and the Fifth Avenue shopping district is a few blocks west.

Where it sits
The corridor of Park and Madison Avenues, where corporate New York keeps its address book. Grand Central sits at its heart, which makes Midtown East one of the easiest places in the city to sleep if you plan to ride trains rather than hail cabs.
