Lonely Planet review

An unlikely creation from a 20-floor all-glass office building, the Bentley is about as east as you can get in Manhattan. The location isn't exactly ideal for pounding the pavement - it's just off the Queensboro Bridge ramps and a pretty busy York Ave, but East River views from the rooftop lounge and the rooms' modern, minimalist design hold their own.

Opened in 1995, the 197-room Bentley packs boutique-hotel style in (often) tight spaces. Dark-grey carpet and all-leather chaises longues by the window add a somber effect. The deluxe suites have more than double the elbow room and get more out of the giant windows (some occupy corners too). The lounge up top covers two floors, serves food in the evenings, and can't be beaten for an after-dinner drink under the gaze of city lights. The downstairs reading room has a free cappuccino machine. Higher floors get less traffic noise and three floors have smoking rooms.
