The Beekman A Thompson Hotel by Hyatt

About The Beekman A Thompson Hotel by Hyatt

This stay suits travelers who want the old downtown of Manhattan at the door and the rest of the island a short ride away. Couples come for the evenings, business guests for the easy walk to the Financial District offices, and families for the space to spread out after a day at the 9/11 Memorial. The address on Nassau Street puts the Brooklyn Bridge about 0.2 miles (0.3 km) away in a straight line, so early walks toward the river are part of the routine.

The Beekman A Thompson Hotel by Hyatt is a 5-star hotel in the Financial District, Downtown Manhattan. The booking supplier's guest score is 4.6 out of 5 from 2129 reviews, which points to a steady, well-run house rather than a gamble. Expect a formal, city-scale building with 24-hour staffing, a fitness center and a restaurant among the listed facilities. It is the sort of base that works for a long weekend or a working week, and for anyone who would rather stay downtown than travel uptown each night.

Rooms and listed facilities

Rooms are backed by a listed set of facilities rather than a description of any one category. Couples get air conditioning, a minibar and room service; families can ask about family rooms and cots; business guests have free wifi, a safe and a 24-hour front desk. Late arrivals are covered by 24-hour security and luggage storage. Parking includes valet parking, and pets are allowed. Confirm the room type, the bed setup and whether a cot fits your room with the property before booking.

The setting

The hotel stands at 123 Nassau Street in the Financial District, Downtown Manhattan, where narrow old streets run down to the waterfront. The 9/11 Memorial is about 0.4 miles (0.6 km) away in a straight line and the walk over the Brooklyn Bridge begins about 0.2 miles (0.3 km) out.

Location and neighborhood

Two rivers and a harbor frame the southern tip of Manhattan, where the Financial District and Battery Park City sit side by side and feel quite different underfoot. Inland, old lanes below 14th Street twist between towers and Broadway cuts across them on the diagonal. To the west, Battery Park City runs along the Hudson as a calmer strip of waterfront, lawns and esplanades. Weekend mornings are quiet here in a way few parts of Manhattan manage, especially among the office blocks on a Saturday. Couples who prefer slow days to a schedule tend to settle in easily.

Water sets the pace. The Staten Island Ferry comes and goes from Whitehall Terminal through the day, and harbor traffic gives the waterfront a slow rhythm. From the esplanade you can watch boats head toward the Statue of Liberty, which stands out in the distance on clear afternoons. Evenings are the reward: the light drops behind New Jersey and the office towers empty out. Walk the Battery at dusk, then take a second loop along the river. It is a district that rewards a couple who leave the day loose.

Getting there and around

The Beekman A Thompson Hotel by Hyatt puts the whole southern tip within walking distance, and transit covers anything further north. The subway runs all night; tap a contactless card or phone at the turnstiles and check current service changes with the MTA before a late trip. Fulton Center and the stations around the World Trade Center are around 3.2 miles (5.2 km) away, with connections across the city. For out-of-town plans, JFK and Newark Liberty are around 13 miles (20.8 km) away, and the trip usually runs 45 to 75 minutes depending on traffic and connections. The Beekman A Thompson Hotel by Hyatt also sits close to the ferry terminals for a slower crossing.

Nearby sights and food

Most of the headline sights are within a short walk. The 9/11 Memorial's two reflecting pools are free to visit, and the museum beside them is ticketed. Ferries to the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island leave from Battery Park, and the free Staten Island Ferry crosses from Whitehall Terminal past the statue in about 25 minutes. The walk across the Brooklyn Bridge is a short subway ride away, and an early start keeps it quiet. Little Island and Hudson River Park sit north along the water, and the High Line begins further up the West Side. Check opening hours and timed entry with each site.

Eating here splits between the office crowd and the waterfront. Weekday lunch places fill fast and empty by evening, so dinner often means a short walk to somewhere quieter. Expect steakhouses and old-fashioned chophouses, seafood counters near the water, Italian kitchens, and Japanese and Thai places tucked into side streets. Food halls near the financial core suit a couple who cannot agree. Battery Park City has casual spots by the esplanade for a slow coffee or a long breakfast. Reserve for the formal rooms, and check weekend hours.

A day from The Beekman A Thompson Hotel by Hyatt

A day from The Beekman A Thompson Hotel by Hyatt: start with an early walk along the Battery Park City esplanade while the river is still quiet and the office towers are empty. Loop back through Battery Park, then cross to the 9/11 Memorial for the reflecting pools before the tour groups arrive; the museum takes the rest of the morning if you book a timed entry. Lunch somewhere near the financial core, then ride the free Staten Island Ferry for the harbor view and step off, turn around and come back. Late afternoon suits the Brooklyn Bridge walk, with the light going gold over the East River. Finish with dinner inland, then a last slow loop by the water before returning to The Beekman A Thompson Hotel by Hyatt.
