Beekman Hotel

>
The entrance to the landmarked hotel is covertly located on the quiet Beekman Street in Financial District.
Textures and textiles greet you warmly at check-in.
The atrium is decorated with Victorian cast iron railings, which I am nervously hovering over for this photo.
Looking up into the sky lights.
A playful atmosphere...
...Eclectic block-colored décor with items like pillows, table lamps and ottomans that accent the bedroom.
A luxurious Carrara-marble tiled bathroom perfect for afternoon soaks.
On a cold Saturday evening...
...Tom Colicchio’s Fowler & Wells and The Bar Room were packed to the brim with a large constituency of locals and out-of-towners alike.
My boyfriend and I enjoyed a splendid Anniversary dinner (and the following day, brunch) at Keith McNally’s Augustine.
We were transported to a different era and place with the ornate and thoroughly-consistent interior design and food.
Drinks under a dramatic pyramidal skylight.
The center of activity isn’t the lobby, but the Bar Room.
Sitting in the center of the nine-story atrium.
Gaze upward and relish in the architecture, or burrow into a velvet armchair and enjoy the surrounding local art work on display.
Highs & Lows
-
The Bar Room (located in the atrium) feels very much like an old-school private club – opulent and dimly-lit. An excellent date spot.
-
The indelible and unique architecture of the Victorian atrium + pyramidal skylight. The amount of care and attention to detail that went into the restoration is very apparent.
-
Augustine, the restaurant. The service, food, décor was all impeccable. It gets packed, so reservation is recommended.
-
The Financial District location. If I were visiting NYC, I might prefer another neighborhood that was more buzzing. However, apparently, many new things are coming to this area.
