Broadway’s 12 Best Hotels, New York

Broadway shows and the bright lights of Times Squaure are so synonymous with New York that booking a hotel in this area ensures a real NYC experience. Quiet and subdued it is not, but if you want your trip to involve the theatre, dinner, and perhaps even dancing after — this is a great destination. As one of the most visited areas in the city, there is also a good selection of hotels. Broadway's best hotels range from stately five star properties to foodie's picks; there are also a wide choice of great value stays if you are on a budget. Our hotel experts have hand selected their favourites, so why not browse through our collection to start planning your trip?

For a luxury hotel

The Bryant Park Hotel is a black and gold Gothic landmark overlooking Bryant Park. The 128 rooms are light and minimal feeling, but with bathtubs and city views. The KOI sushi restaurant is popular with locals and the bar is a lively start to the night.
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 romance

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 Refinery Hotel is not a luxury hotel converted from an oil refinery, but a hat factory. The 197 plush rooms have high ceilings, hardwood floors, contemporary artworks and some offer views of the Empire State Building. The industrial conversion vibe is mixed with a suave contemporary flair to great effect.

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.

For a city break

As well as Broadway, the Archer New York is close to the Garment District, Grand Central Station and the Empire State Building. The feel is quite quirky, blending downtown-style brick walls and industrial spaces with uptown decorative influences. Plus, the rooftop bar, Spyglass offers irresistible panoramic views.

For great value

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 in style, 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.
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.
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 city style

The Time New York is a hidden gem perfectly located just steps from Times Square. 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 an evening at the theatre.
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.
