Fairfield Inn & Suites New York Manhattan Times Square South

About Fairfield Inn & Suites New York Manhattan Times Square South

Fairfield Inn & Suites New York Manhattan Times Square South suits travelers who want a central base without staying inside the Theater District crowds. Chelsea addresses, a Midtown grid position and a short walk to Penn Station make it practical for first-time visitors, couples on a weekend, and business travelers with meetings across the west side. Families get a straightforward, no-fuss stopover. Late arrivals land in a building with a 24 hour front desk and 24 hour security, which helps when a flight or train reaches the city after dark.

Officially rated 4-star, this is a midtown hotel built for short, efficient stays rather than long resort holidays. The booking supplier's guest score is 4.2 out of 5 from 1596 reviews, a figure that reflects steady, workmanlike comfort rather than luxury. Rooms are booked on the IMPT app, where prices and availability and the total with taxes and fees appear before you commit. Expect a business-like base with breakfast and wifi, and treat the building as a place to sleep between long days out in Manhattan.

The setting

Fairfield Inn & Suites New York Manhattan Times Square South stands at 338 West 36th Street, in the Chelsea and Midtown Manhattan area. The street sits west of Fifth Avenue and a few blocks from Broadway, which runs diagonally across the grid. Penn Station is about 0.2 miles (0.4 km) in a straight line, Times Square about 0.5 miles (0.8 km), Grand Central Terminal about 0.9 miles (1.4 km). Central Park at Fifth Avenue and 59th Street is about 1.3 miles (2.1 km) away, and the 9/11 Memorial about 3.1 miles (5 km).

Location and neighborhood

Chelsea and Hudson Yards take up the West Side between roughly 14th and 34th Streets, a stretch where converted warehouses stand beside new glass towers. The grid makes navigation simple: numbered streets run east to west, avenues north to south, and Broadway cuts across on the diagonal. Most of the district's galleries cluster in West Chelsea, on blocks close to the High Line. Hudson Yards, at the northern end, is the newest layer, built over the rail yards, with open squares and the Vessel at its center.

Distances here are short. The High Line lifts a planted path above the streets from Gansevoort Street to West 34th Street, and Hudson River Park runs along the water a few blocks west of the galleries. Midtown's offices sit immediately north and east, so weekday lunch hours fill the sidewalks and weekends are calmer around the galleries. The Theater District begins within walking distance of the northern edge, which suits anyone planning an evening show. Streets are busy but well lit late, and the avenues stay active after the theaters close.

Getting there and around

Arrivals by train land closest. Fairfield Inn & Suites New York Manhattan Times Square South sits around 0.9 miles (1.4 km) from Penn Station, where trains from the airports and subway lines converge, and around 14 miles (22.1 km) from the nearest airport, a drive that lengthens at rush hour. From JFK, a rail link reaches Jamaica for the subway; from Newark, trains continue to Penn Station; from LaGuardia, a free shuttle bus connects with the subway. Tap a contactless card or phone to enter the subway, which runs all night. Congestion pricing applies to vehicles entering Manhattan below 60th Street. Fairfield Inn & Suites New York Manhattan Times Square South is around 0.5 miles (0.8 km) from the middle of the district.

Nearby sights and food

The High Line is the obvious first walk, an elevated path on a former freight line with plantings and river views. At its northern end, Hudson Yards adds public squares and the Vessel, a structure of staircases and landings; check access rules before visiting. Little Island and Hudson River Park give open lawns and water-level paths along the Hudson. North of the district, the Intrepid Museum occupies a pier on the river. Observation decks at Hudson Yards and Midtown put the whole island in view, and Broadway theaters sit a short walk east.

Eating is the district's second draw. Chelsea Market holds food stalls and small counters under a brick-vaulted ceiling, good for a quick lunch between galleries. Around the High Line, small bakeries and coffee counters serve the gallery crowd, and the side streets toward Ninth Avenue hold taquerias, Thai kitchens, pizza counters and Middle Eastern spots. Hudson Yards adds polished dining rooms and a food hall with counter seating. For something quick, look along Eighth Avenue, where delis, falafel shops and slice joints stay open late.

A day from Fairfield Inn & Suites New York Manhattan Times Square South

A day from Fairfield Inn & Suites New York Manhattan Times Square South can start early, which suits anyone arriving on an overnight flight. Walk the High Line before the crowds build, then drop into a few West Chelsea galleries; most open around late morning, so check times before setting out. Lunch fits easily at the market. In the afternoon, continue to Hudson Yards for the squares and the Vessel, then follow the river path south through Hudson River Park to Little Island. An observation deck near sunset works well if the sky is clear. Finish with a Broadway show; evening curtains are usually at 7 or 8 pm, so confirm the time for the night you book.
