What W New York - Times Square actually is
The W on Broadway at 47th Street does something clever with a difficult site: it puts the lobby on the seventh floor, reached by a glass lift, so arriving guests rise out of the Times Square chaos into a calm space rather than through it. The Living Room lounge up there has good views over the square.
Rooms are contemporary W in style — dark, moody, well equipped — and the hotel runs a busy bar and restaurant programme. It is squarely a nightlife-adjacent hotel in the busiest part of the city, and priced accordingly.

Questions people ask about W New York - Times Square
Why is the lobby on the seventh floor?
The ground floor is retail, and lifting the lobby gives arriving guests a calm arrival above the street rather than through the Times Square crowds.
Is it a party hotel?
It leans that way. The bars are busy and the music is audible in the public spaces. Guest floors are considerably quieter.
