What You Need to Know

The Look of The Manhattan at Times Square Hotel

The 689-room property occupies a 22-story, 60s-era tower complete with lavish Art Deco accents on its facade: You’ll know you've arrived when you spot the hotel’s large letter “M” logo on the side of the building. Inside, the lobby and reception area boast a contemporary black and white color palette, glimmering chandeliers, and gray- and cream-hued seating. The space is also decorated with fresh blooms, which offer subtle pops of color, plus black and white artwork and photographs of NYC. A small bar area also offers grab-and-go breakfast items in the mornings. 

In terms of accommodations, there are four different categories to choose from: Standard, Deluxe, Executive, and Suites. The former are clean and comfortable, with large windows, wood furnishings, and a color palette of tan and brown. Deluxe rooms offer a more contemporary look and feel with lots of natural light, sleek hardwood floors, a palette of whites and grays with pink and red throw pillows and accent chairs, as well as murals of the NYC skyline above the bed. Executive rooms, also called Superior rooms, nix the fun accents for a more sophisticated feel. Finally, suites range from 527 to 1,275 square feet and are ideal for larger groups.
