I recently had out-of-town visitors – as my loft is too small to accommodate them, I reserved two rooms at the Benson Hotel for them to stay in. These are dear friends of mine and I wanted them close to me and I wanted them to be pampered.Regretfully, I made the reservation based on the Benson’s reputation and their impressive lobby.
