Hotels in Times Square

Loud, lit, and permanently busy. Nobody pretends Times Square is subtle, but it is unbeatable for theatre-first trips: most Broadway houses are inside a five-minute walk, and the 42nd Street transit hub reaches every borough. Transit here: Times Sq–42 St (1, 2, 3, 7, N, Q, R, W, S); 42 St–Port Authority (A, C, E); 49 St (N, R, W).

Across the 43 hotels we track here, nightly rates start at about $170 for Hotel Edison and rise to $600 at the top end, before New York's roughly 14.75% room tax and nightly occupancy fee.
