Our honest verdict
Choose The Beekman for architecture, atmosphere and downtown dining—not simply as the nearest bed to Midtown Christmas sights.
Why The Beekman, A Thompson Hotel, by Hyatt works for a New York winter trip
The dramatic covered atrium gives the hotel a strong sense of place even when winter weather shortens outdoor plans. Lower Manhattan attractions can be grouped nearby, including the Oculus, 9/11 Memorial and Brooklyn Bridge approaches.
Downtown is quieter than Midtown late in the evening and requires a subway ride for Rockefeller Center or Broadway. That can be a benefit for couples seeking calm, but it is less efficient if every evening reservation is uptown.
Best for
Who should choose it?
Couples, design and architecture enthusiasts, special occasions and travellers building a full Lower Manhattan day.
Consider first
The main trade-off
Luxury rates and dining costs are significant, while the location is not optimal for repeated Midtown Christmas evenings.
Location and winter itinerary fit
Multiple downtown subway lines are accessible around City Hall, Fulton Street and the World Trade Center area.
A hotel is only well located when it reduces the journeys in your own itinerary. Group nearby sights into one day and count the complete door-to-door route for evening plans, including the outdoor walk, platform wait and final return after dinner or a show.

- Oculus
