Editorial Review for The Benson Hotel – by Otis Rubottom
The Scene
Lumber tycoon Simon Benson built the hotel in 1912, using only the best materials for the lobby: Austrian-crystal chandeliers, Circassian walnut walls and Italian marble floors. The palatial lobby has stately columns, fireplaces and ornate chandeliers, all surrounded by dark Russian-walnut panels. The doormen are efficient and polite in their distinctive garb--their formality is one reason why the Benson is considered one of the most accommodating hotels in town.
The Details
In the most luxurious of rooms, expect a baby grand piano, fireplace and jet-equipped tub, or choose a penthouse for a sweeping view of the city. Other guest rooms are equally elegant, with dark-wood trim, vaulted ceilings and modern conveniences. Each guest room has dual-line phones, robes, cable TV and Nintendo. There's also an exercise room, restaurant and bar. Celebs have been known to frequent the hotel's bar.

I went here for brunch with my family and ti was delicious. The desserts are to die for. And the selection of food is endless. Fabulous Salmon, great sushi and all the regular breakfast selections. I wish they had an Egg's Benedict station to order - but that is because it is my absolute favorite dish. I can't say anything negative except it is a large hotel chain-type atmosphere and ,eave a bit to be desired for personality in service. A really classy bloody mary bar may be an interesting addition to this great brunch.
Pros: Delicious Brunch - Creative Items

Love the rooms and service provided, just wish we could have stayed longer. I love the fact that you are greeted at the door, your car is parked for you and then retrieved when you are done. The suite we were in was very spacious....loved having a seperate room from the bedroom and a large two vanity bathroom. You can tell everyone takes pride in their hotel, their place of employment.
Pros: luxurious beds, quiet rooms
Cons: jacuzzi tub would have been nice, not many restaurants within walking distance
