The Beekman, A Thompson Hotel

The Beekman is a nice place to stay if you are interested in architecture not only because of its origins in the 1800s but also because it's part of a 3-4 block range of buildings from the 1800s as well. KNOW the following TWO THINGS: 1) Before booking: We got the least expensive room - cramped but okay for the price for 4 nights. However, the 3rd floor room was with in deafening range of the nightclub in the basement of the hotel. Only got 3 hours of sleep because of it. We asked to be moved higher up because of the nightclub and was immediately granted the request. It is clear the hotel knows that the nightclub is a problem for the immediate floors above it. --- Don't wait to lose a night of sleep. If you get a 3rd floor room, ask to be moved higher up, as high as is possible. 2) The AARP price doesn't include the following charges for each of the nights you stay: $40 per night for a destination fee; daily NYC occupancy and sales tax fees (about $6/night). --we thought all those fees were covered in the price quoted on this AARP site. Perhaps we didn't read the booking info correctly in the AARP listing, but we had compared it to rates on the major booking sites, which did state these daily fees. --Lastly, food is excellent in the dining room and the Temple court. Breakfast can run $25-$50 a person. Dinner easily will cost $250 for two people. ---Breakfast was exceptional and worth a splurge. ---If you haven't been to NYC in a while or ever: Use Uber for all "taxi" rides. Much more comfortable than NY taxis, and easier to get into, if you have sore hips/legs.

The old world style, charm, and stunning architecture of a Hotel that was built in 1883, is a New York City experience you won't want to miss, and soon won't forget! The staff was amazing, and very attentive. The restaurant and bar in the Hotel offered a fine dining experience, and also has excellent service. Highly recommend, and will stay there again when in New York!

Wonderful welcome by staff and very accommodating with early checkin. Great location for splitting visits between SoHo and Brooklyn. Super comfy beds and great toiletries are a nice bonus. This is our third visit and will not be our last….

Best New York hotel I’ve ever stayed in! Great vibe and decor, rooms are immaculate and well equipped, bed super comfortable, staff very friendly. Great location in the heart of New York. I learned to love New York at the Beekman Hotel! …,..,,,

The character of this hotel is really special. It’s beautifully renovated and the rooms have such attention to period details as well as the most modern touches. The sheets and pillows were unbelievably soft, I was trying to find the labels so I could see if I could find them for myself. I also really liked the area of town. We had some great drinks at the dead rabbit and they gave us a ride there in the house car. Can’t say enough good things about our stay, the hotel character, the staff helpfulness and the over all quality of the hotel.
