Aliz Hotel Times Square

About Aliz Hotel Times Square

Aliz Hotel Times Square suits travelers who want a Midtown address within walking distance of the center and a practical base for a short city break. Couples can walk to Times Square in the evening, business travelers are close to Penn Station and the Port Authority Bus Terminal, and families have family rooms listed. Late arrivals find a 24 hour front desk and 24 hour security. The hotel sits in Hell's Kitchen, a Midtown neighborhood with many places to eat nearby. Bookings open in the IMPT app.

Aliz Hotel Times Square is a 4-star hotel, a rating given by the booking supplier rather than by this guide. The supplier's guest score is 3.8 out of 5 from 1877 reviews. That combination points to a practical Midtown stay rather than a luxury one: a central address, a listed fitness center and restaurant, and a steady flow of guests. Read the most recent reviews before you book, and check the total price with taxes and fees, since New York City hotel bills add taxes and a per-night occupancy charge.

Rooms and listed facilities

The supplier lists air conditioning, free wifi and a safe among the facilities, along with family rooms and a cot for households with a young child. Couples can ask the property about room placement and floor when booking. Business travelers get a business center, a concierge and laundry service, with room service listed for late nights. A fitness center and gymnasium are listed for early workouts. Confirm the room type, the bed setup, parking and any facility fee with the property, and check the total price with taxes and fees.

Confirm opening hours, parking arrangements and any charges directly with Aliz Hotel Times Square before arrival.

The setting

Aliz Hotel Times Square stands at 310 W. 40th Street, in Hell's Kitchen on the west side of Midtown Manhattan. The grid takes over from here: numbered streets run east to west and avenues north to south, with Fifth Avenue dividing East from West addresses. Straight-line distances are about 0.4 miles (0.6 km) to Times Square and to Penn Station, about 0.8 miles (1.3 km) to Grand Central Terminal, about 1.1 miles (1.8 km) to Central Park at Fifth Avenue and 59th Street, and about 3.3 miles (5.3 km) to the 9/11 Memorial.

Location and neighborhood

Hell's Kitchen occupies the west side of Midtown Manhattan, running from 34th Street north to 59th Street and from Eighth Avenue west to the Hudson River. The numbered grid makes it easy to learn: streets run east-west, avenues north-south, and Fifth Avenue divides East from West street numbers. Broadway cuts diagonally through the district on its way to the Theater District. Most visitors arrive at Penn Station or the Port Authority Bus Terminal and are already inside the neighborhood. Addresses west of Ninth Avenue feel quieter, with low-rise blocks leading toward the waterfront.

Restaurant Row on West 46th Street between Eighth and Ninth Avenues packs a run of kitchens into one block, busy before and after theater curtains. Ninth Avenue is the other spine, a long line of food shops, bakeries and casual rooms that changes character block by block. Between the two, side streets hold groceries, delis and small counters that serve the people who live here. The district stays active late, though the far western blocks toward the Hudson turn quiet after dark. For a first visit from Aliz Hotel Times Square, the geography is simple: the Theater District sits immediately east, and the Hudson River bounds the neighborhood on the west.

Getting there and around

Hell's Kitchen is well connected. Penn Station, between Seventh and Eighth Avenues at 34th Street, and the Port Authority Bus Terminal at 42nd Street and Eighth Avenue are close by; Aliz Hotel Times Square is around 0.8 miles (1.3 km) from Penn Station. Grand Central Terminal is a short crosstown trip east. The subway runs 24 hours, and you tap a contactless card or phone at the turnstiles. JFK and Newark Liberty are around 14 miles (22.1 km) from Aliz Hotel Times Square, typically 45 to 75 minutes by road and rail depending on traffic. LaGuardia is nearest by road. Vehicles entering Manhattan below 60th Street pay a congestion toll; check current rules.

Nearby sights and food

The Intrepid Museum, on a pier on the Hudson at West 46th Street, is the nearest large sight, a short walk west from most of the district. MoMA sits on West 53rd Street between Fifth and Sixth Avenues, and the American Museum of Natural History is a crosstown trip to Central Park West. Broadway's theaters cluster around Times Square, with about 40 houses; evening curtains are typically at 7 or 8 pm, so check the show. Hudson Yards and the Vessel lie to the south. Observation decks at Rockefeller Center, on the Empire State Building and at Hudson Yards, plus Grand Central Terminal, are a short ride east.

Eating is the district's other draw. Ninth Avenue carries the widest spread: Thai, Greek, Mexican, Italian and Middle Eastern kitchens, ramen shops, taquerias, pizza counters and bakeries, mostly casual and many open late. Restaurant Row on West 46th Street gathers pre-theater dining rooms in a single block, and the side streets add delis, diners and coffee bars. Menus are usually posted outside, which helps when choosing. West of Ninth Avenue the pace slows, with neighborhood places serving the people who live nearby. Book ahead for dinner on show nights, and expect the busiest tables between 6 and 8 pm.

A day from Aliz Hotel Times Square

A day from Aliz Hotel Times Square starts early, walking west to the Hudson while the waterfront paths and piers are still quiet. Head north along the river to the Intrepid Museum; check opening hours before setting out. Come back east for lunch around Ninth Avenue, where the choice is widest and tables turn quickly. The afternoon suits a museum: MoMA is a walk east and north, and the American Museum of Natural History sits across the park. Return to the district for an early dinner on Restaurant Row, then a Broadway show, with curtains typically at 7 or 8 pm. Check the show's start time. Afterward, Ninth Avenue stays open for a late bite.
