Description
What to expect: Located in a residential neighborhood on the Upper East Side--with no surrounding skyscrapers--the Bentley draws mostly leisure travelers with its unobstructed views of the city, East River, and 59th Street Bridge. Witty decorative touches appear throughout the hotel, including a large stainless-steel “vase” sculpture, a mobile with scraps of paper reading “Have a nice day” in various languages, and room number signs embellished with tiny artificial flower bouquets.
Amenity highlights: A complimentary 24-hour espresso machine and a selection of magazines and newspapers are available in a cozy library adjacent to the lobby. The hotel also offers on-site parking and concierge services at the front desk.
Insider tip: Located in the East River between Manhattan and Queens, two-mile-long Roosevelt Island is home to a small town of about 8,000. The island includes a a farmhouse built in 1796 and a church and lighthouse dating from the late 1800s. Visitors can take a fun and scenic five-minute tram ride to the island via the aerial tramway at 59th Street and Second Avenue station, five blocks from the hotel.
