Perfect for visitors on a mission to shop until they drop, the Bentley Hotel on Manhattan's tony Upper East Side stands close to world-famous shopping meccas Blommingdale's, Barney's New York, and Madison and Fifth avenues. Located in a pleasant residential area, the Bentley overlooks the East River and 59th Street Bridge, which guests can view from the rooftop restaurant. The Bentley also lies seven blocks from Central Park and its more than 800 acres of lakes, woods, gardens, ravines, and paths perfect for biking, jogging and walking.

For the adventurous and curious, guests can take an aerial tramway five blocks from the hotel to the East River's Roosevelt Island, home to 8,000 people. The island includes a farmhouse built in the late 1700s and an 1800-era church and lighthouse.

Back at the Bentley, guests will enjoy concierge services, laundry services and other accomodations. What's more, patrons returning after a day of shopping or museum hopping can relax in the cozy library with a 24-hour complimentary cappuccino bar. For dining, the Rooftop Restaurant and Bar dishes up, among a full menu of items, Penne Vodka, a blend of vodka, cheese, tomato and sweet cream. The bar specializes in mojitos and martinis.

While a typical Manhattan hotel room usually offers only views of adjacent buildings, the Bentley offers unobstructed views of the East River and the city. Guest rooms boast a simple, contemporary décor, and come equipped with Belgian linens, CD players, dual-line phones with Internet access, and marble bathrooms.

For rooms with a view, especially in a quiet, residential area of Manhattan, the Bentley Hotel is the perfect bet, allowing guests to experience Manhattan chic on the Upper East Side -- like something out of an Ol' Blue Eyes song.
