About this property
Officially opening our doors on July 1, 2021, The Benson Hotel has taken over a previous hotel.
The property has been given new life from its external facade, through the lobby, to the deco-inspired restaurant and bar on level three, overlooking the city skyline.
Existing guest rooms have experienced a stage one refresh with new carpet, curtains, paint, and 55" smart TVs in the bathrooms, with furnishing to be refurbished in stage two over the coming months.
Located in the heart of the central business district, The Benson Hotel is a 5-minute walk from the Convention Center, Reef Casino, reef departure terminals, Esplanade Lagoon, and Promenade. Free WiFi is included.
For a more active time, go canoeing or horseback riding. Make your own unique tour of the area with a rented bicycle or car. Return to a favorite drink at the bar, open Tuesday–Saturday.
The Benson Bar & Restaurant is a combination of relaxation and sophistication, offering an array of cocktails, modern dining, and local delicacies. Breakfast is available from 6:30 a.m. to 10 a.m. every day. The bar opens from 3 p.m. until late on Friday and Saturday, with the restaurant serving meals from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. It also offers outdoor seating to enjoy the tropical climate.
Couples particularly like the location — they rated it 9.2 for a two-person trip.
