Beekman Arms and Delamater Inn

Love the lobby of the Beekman Arms!! A trip back in time full of rich history. Very pleasant staff. Enjoyed our meal at the tavern. Great food and atmosphere.

Weather was bad and hiking a block to breakfast was less than pleasant. And breakfast was really disappointing. I have eaten breakfast at other historic inns and they make an effort to serve something special and homemade. This was on par with bulk bake goods at Best Western or Holiday Inn. Straight from Costco or Walmart. You do need to warn guests that you have lots of stairs with no elevators and multiple buildings that are not adjacent or connected.

The restaurant and bar.

Where we stayed! Didn’t realize when we booked, we were staying down the street in an old apartment building and not not the Beekman Hotel.

The historic architecture and important archival images throughout the facility. Friendliness of the majority of the staff. Convenience of location.

I think the facility, especially in the common areas, sorely needs careful Interior Design input. For example, the sitting room on the main floor. The furniture is in dire need of new, historically appropriate new upholstery. The bookshelves behind the sofa are a hot mess of photos of former guests. While, it is a quaint idea to display these images, they have no meaning to most guests and detract from the historic ambiance we seek when we stay at the Beekman Arms. These items can be more tastefully displayed as a group either in a reserved section of said room or in another area - perhaps the restaurant. The absence of interior design finesse that could link our shared colonial history to contemporary use in the lobby is lost and deeply detracts from one's overall experience at Americas premier historic hotel. With not much expense, an easy upgrade of the reception area would immediately underline the importance of your guests 1st impression of the uniqueness of the Beekman Arms's historic and aesthetic importance for our nation.

Needs updated.

Breakfast was just ok. Beagles/pastries were dried out. Hard boiled eggs hard. Arrangement of food was a nice set up

Confusion on where to check in.
