Broadway Plaza Hotel

About Broadway Plaza Hotel

Broadway Plaza Hotel suits travelers who want a central Manhattan base without the crowds of the Theater District. The address on Broadway sits in Midtown South, at the edge of the Flatiron district and Union Square, so mornings start with a walk rather than a subway ride. Couples, small families and business travelers on short trips fit well here. Penn Station is a short walk away, which helps anyone arriving by train or heading out early.

Broadway Plaza Hotel is a 4-star hotel in the official star rating, and the booking supplier's guest score is 4.5 out of 5 from 1033 reviews. That score, drawn from a large number of stays, suggests a dependable Midtown operation. Rooms sit behind a 24 hour front desk, and the building has elevators, air conditioning and free Wi-Fi.

The setting

Broadway Plaza Hotel stands at 1155 Broadway, where the avenue runs through Midtown South toward the Flatiron district and Union Square. The setting is a working stretch of Manhattan: offices, shops and subway stops rather than a single sight. Straight-line distances give the shape of it. JFK is about 13 miles (21.1 km) away in a straight line.

Location and neighborhood

Midtown South, Flatiron and Union Square suit a short work trip because the day's meetings often sit within walking reach. The area runs from Union Square north to the blocks around Penn Station, taking in the Flatiron Building, Madison Square Park, NoMad, Koreatown and the hotel streets of Midtown South. Numbered streets run east and west, avenues run north and south, and Fifth Avenue divides east from west addresses. Broadway cuts across the grid on a diagonal, so check the cross street before setting out. Broadway Plaza Hotel gives a central point for that pattern, with Grand Central Terminal and Penn Station both part of the same working district.

Use the street grid to plan a business day. Morning meetings in Flatiron or NoMad can sit close together, and Union Square is a useful marker for the southern edge of Midtown. Koreatown adds evening choice after late sessions, while Madison Square Park offers a bench and a pause between appointments. The High Line and Hudson River Park lie west of the area, and the Theater District sits north around Times Square. Broadway Plaza Hotel works as a reference point when you arrange the day by cross street, not by landmark alone.

Getting there and around

Getting there starts with the airports. JFK and Newark sit beyond Queens and New Jersey, with rail and bus links into Manhattan; LaGuardia is closest by road and connects to the subway by bus. Check current service and traffic with the airport operators and the MTA before you travel. From Broadway Plaza Hotel, the airports are around 13 miles (21.1 km) by road, and Penn Station is around 0.9 miles (1.4 km) away. The subway runs 24 hours, and contactless tap to pay works at the turnstiles. For local trips, walking usually beats a short car trip in this grid, but check weather and street closures.

Nearby sights and food

Between meetings, the area keeps several sights close. Madison Square Park and the Flatiron Building anchor the center, and Union Square gives a clear meeting point on the southern edge. The High Line and Hudson River Park are west, with Hudson Yards and the Vessel beyond the rail yards. Grand Central Terminal is north and east, while Little Island sits at the Hudson River edge downtown. Broadway and the Theater District lie north around Times Square, where evening curtains are typically at 7 or 8 pm; check the show schedule. Most of these are a short walk or a few subway stops from the hotel streets around Broadway Plaza Hotel.

Food in the area covers fast weekday lunches and slower evening meals. Koreatown has Korean restaurants and late kitchens; Flatiron and NoMad add sandwich shops, salad counters, coffee bars and casual pasta or pizza places. Union Square draws a mix of bakeries, delis and sit-down rooms for client dinners. For a short work trip, reserve a table when a meal matters and keep a counter or market hall as the flexible option. Check opening days with each venue around public holidays, since some kitchens close early on weekends.

A day from Broadway Plaza Hotel

A day from Broadway Plaza Hotel can stay compact. Start with a walk through Madison Square Park and a look at the Flatiron Building, then follow Fifth Avenue or Broadway to the first meeting. Break at Union Square for coffee or a quick lunch, then take the subway north to Grand Central Terminal for an afternoon appointment. If the calendar clears, walk west to the High Line near sunset and continue to Hudson River Park. End with an early dinner in Koreatown or NoMad, or head to the Theater District for an evening curtain; check the show time and subway service with the MTA before setting out.
