Check Availability & Pricing
Hotel Information: An elaborately carved stone facade greets guests of this 17-story brick hotel. Inside the Bedford, white marble steps descend from the street to a small wood-paneled lobby accented by gold silk-covered walls and a large iron and glass chandelier. An adjacent lounge area with richly upholstered sofas and armchairs offers a quiet refuge from midtown Manhattan's busy streets.
Amenity highlights: The Bedford Hotel's on-site restaurant and bar, Ristorante Domenico, features Northern Italian cuisine in a casual setting. Lunch and dinner are served daily, and a pre-theater menu is available for visitors heading for Broadway.
Insider tip: Bucolic Bryant Park, two blocks from the hotel, is bordered by six garden beds planted with hundreds of flowers. Twin tree-lined promenades lend a European feel. A French-style carousel, a boule board, chess and backgammon tables, and 2,000 chairs charm visitors. During the winter, take a spin on the ice skating rink under the stars; in summer watch Monday night movies on a large outdoor screen.
