Description
The 21-story hotel, converted from an office building in 1998, has 197 rooms, as of 2010.[1] Many rooms offer views of the East River and Queensboro Bridge.[2][3] New York magazine's Nick Divito described the hotel as "a former high-rise office building that's been converted into a beacon of contemporary and surprisingly comfortable style. Think bright lights, boxy leather sofas and brushed-steel side tables."[4]
History
Joey Allaham opened the rooftop kosher restaurant Prime at the Bentley in 2012.[5][6]
On May 8, 2020, the hotel's doors were opened to the city's local homeless population in order to curb the spread of COVID-19 and ease overcrowding at homeless shelters during the 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic.[7]
Reception
Bentley ranks number 209 on U.S News & World Report's list of "Best New York City Hotels".[8]
