The Benjamin, Manhattan, NY This New York City landmark is taking on the challenge of bringing rest to the city that never sleeps. Led by sleep medicine expert Dr. Rebecca Robbins, professor of sleep medicine at Cornell and co-author of "Sleep for Success," The Benjamin's Rest & Renew program seeks to provide guests with solutions and tools to help them get the perfect night's sleep. Some of the amenities of the program include:

· A pillow menu, with options including everything from anti-snore pillows to water-filled pillows, as well as body cushions and Swedish memory foam.
· On-demand meditation: Created in partnership with The Path, this program is designed to help guests slow down mentally and physically.
· Sleep masks, earplugs, blackout curtains, noise machines, and a lullaby music library, all provided to help guests fall — and stay — asleep.
· 24/7 sleep team: a specialized concierge team trained by Robbins to provide advice and answer all sleep-related questions.
