Independent Report

exterior
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.
lobby
Silk-covered walls and plush upholstered seating accent a quiet lounge area in the Bedford Hotel's lobby. The hotel's casually elegant restaurant dishes up hearty Northern Italian fare.
general
This is a "home away from home" style hotel offering intimate accommodation in a quiet corner of the bustling city. It is suitable for travelers around the globe, especially those on vacation. The hotel offers complimentary high speed Internet access. (0905/TS) 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.
