The Beekman, A Thompson Hotel
The Beekman turns a landmark Lower Manhattan atrium into one of New York’s most atmospheric hotels, pairing Victorian architecture, eclectic rooms and destination dining downtown.
The Beekman occupies a landmark building near City Hall in Lower Manhattan, close to the Brooklyn Bridge, World Trade Center and the revived Seaport district.
Its nine-story Victorian atrium is the defining architectural feature, topped by a pyramidal skylight and ringed by ornate iron balustrades. Martin Brudnizki’s interiors add velvet, leather, antiques and contemporary art without overpowering the building.
The 287 rooms and suites continue the vintage-modern approach with aged oak floors, custom furnishings and marble bathrooms. Two turret penthouses add private rooftop terraces and some of the property’s most distinctive spaces.
Temple Court and The Bar Room make the atrium a genuine social center, with Tom Colicchio’s food and a setting that draws locals throughout the day and evening. A 24-hour bi-level fitness center adds practical depth, though there is no pool.
The Beekman is best for travelers who value architecture and downtown character, offering a far more memorable alternative to a conventional Financial District business hotel.
