Stylish modern rooms are decorated in dusky pastels and boast slate bathrooms reimagined as wetrooms with rainfall showers. With Intriguing geometric artwork and a chic lounge and bar — this is a stylish and convenient base to return to after watching a Broadway show.

For a classic New York stay

Vibrant and friendly, the Casablanca Hotel is one of the best places to stay if you want to be right in the heart of things. The decor, as you may have guessed, is Moroccan inspired, with beautiful mosaics, tapestries and paintings, impressive rugs and even ornate ceiling fans. These unique, careful touches, and the fact that it's incredibly well priced for the location, means that the 48 rooms are often booked solid with repeat guests.

For a boutique

Hotel Scherman is a stylish boutique hotel with a European feel, well located just minutes from Times Square. Elegant rooms have feature wallpaper, kitchenettes and the best have terraces. With a trendy rooftop and hearty French breakfasts, this is an intimate and chic choice.
Merrion Row Hotel & Public House is a chic boutique hotel situated in the heart of Times Square. Drawing on the style of a Dublin townhouse, guestrooms have pastel walls set off by brass fittings and royal blue accents, plus art inspired by Ireland. A fun and laidback option perfect for a stylish city crashpad.
Moxy NYC Times Square is a lively and social boutique hotel just steps from Times Square. Contemporary rooms are compact yet well designed with epic city views. Relish the sunset and savour a cocktail at Magic Hour, the largest all-season, indoor/outdoor rooftop bar in NYC with its own mini amusement park. A good option for the young and trendy.

For Broadway

The City Club Hotel feels like a gentleman’s club because that’s what it used to be: subtly luxurious, classy and welcoming. The French-American restaurant is curated by award-winning chef Daniel Boulud, and it’s got a bit of French glamour too.

For a luxury hotel

The Algonquin Hotel opened its doors in 1902 and has been doing a roaring trade ever since, probably helped along by the fact that Dorothy Parker and the Algonquin Round Table (otherwise known as the ‘vicious circle’) would meet every day for lunch throughout the 1920s. The decor is gorgeous, an antique lover's dream, and they even still have a hotel cat.
The Chatwal is a historic 44th Street hotel, built in 1905, where art-deco design blends seamlessly with modern conveniences. Luxuries include a spa and personal butler service as standard. However, it is the gourmet dining at The Lambs Club, a historic culinary landmark set in gilded deco period surrounds, that really impresses.

For great value

CitizenM New York is another in that set of innovative, modern, no-frills-hotels-with-funky-design. It’s about one minute from Times Square, has wall-to-wall windows and a panoramic rooftop bar.

For foodies

The Times Square Edition is a crisp, slick, modern hotel and destination for food lovers. The Michelin starred 701West boasts an acclaimed a la carte menu and sumptuous surroundings for unforgettable meals just minutes from Broadway.
