The Financial District's restored beauty

VERIFIED LUXURY

Learn How We Inspect

In the heart of New York City’s Financial District sits The Beekman, a Victorian-era building with architectural elegance, innovative cuisine, and lavish guest rooms and suites with impossibly high ceilings. Making amazing use of the former Temple Court site, the new hotel takes you through a rich period of history.

Before the 1883 structure was built, this site was home to several buildings with special cultural significance, including being the spot where Shakespeare’s Hamlet was first performed in New York and where Edgar Allan Poe produced some of his work. At its height, the 1883 building housed more than 200 businesses. But it was left vacant in 2001 and was reopened in 2013 to begin construction on The Beekman, a Thompson-brand boutique hotel.

Because The Beekman is an alluring hotel with unorthodox appeal, it’s an ideal location for a special occasion, a meeting or a memorable event. As if that weren’t enough, a 51-story luxury condominium tower with penthouse residences and panoramic views of the city also accompanies the property.

Our Inspector's Highlights

Today — thanks to three years of restoration directed by Gerner Kronick + Valcarcel, Architects and design led by Martin Brudnizki — the New York City hotel possesses a hint of mystery and history with a touch of sexiness.
The showstoppers of this architectural gem are the pyramidal skylight and the nine-story atrium with a Renaissance Revival-style glass ceiling, which forms the heart of the hotel.
When it comes to dining, you can expect a culinary adventure from two James Beard Award winners — Tom Colicchio and Keith McNally. Indulge in modern American cuisine at Colicchio’s Temple Court restaurant, while Augustine, McNally’s eatery, offers a combination of French classics.
Within walking distance of the luxury hotel, you can explore some of the city’s iconic landmarks, like the World Trade Center, city hall, the Brooklyn Bridge and South Street Seaport.
The Beekman features a carefully curated collection of art inspired by the great American writers who frequented the location when it was the home of the Mercantile Library Association, like Ralph Waldo Emerson and Edgar Allen Poe.

The Restaurants

Acclaimed chef and restaurateur Tom Colicchio reflects on the cultural and culinary history of lower Manhattan to serve a menu of quintessential New York City dishes at Temple Court.
The dining room, set with rich, jewel-toned furnishings and antique accents, establishes Temple Court as a one-of-a-kind setting for dining in lower Manhattan.
The Bar Room at Tom Colicchio’s Temple Court, located directly beneath the nine-story Victorian atrium, offers an evocative atmosphere to enjoy a morning cup of coffee, light snack, handcrafted cocktail, or decadent meal.
Keith McNally’s Augustine is a Brasserie-style restaurant: open from breakfast through supper, it caters equally to a mid-morning coffee as well as a celebratory dinner.
The menu includes a combination of lighter dishes as well as French classics, with a special Rotisserie and Grillades section of meats, fish and poultry.
