New York Night
One of New York City’s iconic luxury boutique hotels, The Benjamin Royal Sonesta Hotel New York, presents the first phase of a full scale transformation. This phase updated the hotel with new public spaces and renovated guest rooms as well as the introduction of the brand new Beverly Suite.
The hotel opened in 1927 as The Beverly Hotel and established a reputation right away with its 26-story, neo-Romanesque edifice. It has been immortalized in work by acclaimed artists such as Georgia O’Keeffe’s “New York Night” which depicts the hotel and its iconic rosette at the top of the building. In 2017, New York City designated the hotel as an official landmark.
The new design takes cues from the building’s history, drawing inspiration from the story of two main characters, “Benjamin” and “Beverly.” Masculine architectural elements such as bold lines and modern details like warm wood and rich leather are balanced with feminine elements like gilded curves, intricate patterns and a soft color palette. The mascot, Oscar, The King of New York, is reflected throughout the architecture. From the guest rooms to public spaces, warm walnut wood tones, herringbone floors and light-colored wall coverings create a classic, timeless feel. Featured artwork reflects Manhattan culture, from fashion-inspired pieces above headboards to an urban collection of windows in the living rooms of the suites…
