Delta Hotels by Marriott New York Times Square

About Delta Hotels by Marriott New York Times Square

Delta Hotels by Marriott New York Times Square suits travelers who want a Midtown base within walking distance of the theater district and the main rail stations. Couples on a short city break, business travelers with meetings in Midtown and families who prefer a known brand all fit here. The address on West 40th Street keeps the evening curtain close and the morning departure simple. Late arrivals land well too, since the front desk is listed as staffed around the clock.

This is a four-star hotel, according to its official star rating, and it reads as a practical Midtown base rather than a boutique retreat. The booking supplier records a guest score of 3.4 out of 5 from 440 reviews, so the stay is best approached as steady and functional. Expect restaurant and bar service, a fitness center and round-the-clock reception among the listed facilities. Read the score as a summary of past guests' experience and set your expectations accordingly.

Confirm room type, pet policy, cot availability and any facility fee with the property, and check the total price with taxes and fees.

The setting

The hotel sits at 340 West 40th Street in Hell's Kitchen, on a side street west of the theater district in Midtown Manhattan. Times Square is about 0.4 miles (0.6 km) away in a straight line, Penn Station about 0.4 miles (0.7 km) and Grand Central Terminal about 0.9 miles (1.4 km), so theater evenings and train departures stay simple.

Location and neighborhood

West of the Theater District, Hell's Kitchen stretches from 34th Street to 59th Street and from Eighth Avenue to the Hudson River. Ninth Avenue is its main eating street, a long run of casual counters, bakeries, pizza slices, Thai and Mexican kitchens and old-school diners that fills up before and after curtain times. Restaurant Row on West 46th Street packs a short block with tables. The side streets between Ninth and Tenth Avenues stay quieter, with loading docks, community gardens and the occasional corner bar.

Hell's Kitchen has two moods. In the evening, the blocks closest to Times Square fill with theatergoers eating early, and the bars on Tenth Avenue pick up later. By day it is a working Midtown neighborhood of offices, schools, firehouses and apartment blocks, with delivery bikes on every corner. The food follows the people: Cantonese, Korean, Peruvian, Italian, Irish pubs, ramen shops, halal carts and dessert counters. Many kitchens stay open late, and the late-night crowd drifts between Ninth and Tenth Avenues until well after midnight.

Getting there and around

Two subway corridors frame Hell's Kitchen: the lines on Eighth Avenue and the lines on Broadway and Seventh Avenue, with the 42nd Street stops serving the southern end. Delta Hotels by Marriott New York Times Square is around 0.9 miles (1.4 km) from the nearest major rail station and around 14 miles (22.2 km) from the closest airport, so arrivals by train or plane are straightforward. Buses run east-west on 42nd, 49th and 57th Streets. Streets are numbered and the grid is simple, though Ninth Avenue traffic is slow at dinner time. Check the current subway service before a late trip, as weekend work reroutes trains.

Nearby sights and food

Most of Manhattan's big sights sit within a short walk or ride. The Theater District begins a block east, with about 40 Broadway houses around Times Square; evening curtains are typically at 7 or 8 pm, so check the show. The Museum of Modern Art is on West 53rd Street, and Grand Central Terminal is a landmark in its own right, with its concourse and ceiling. The Intrepid Museum, on a retired aircraft carrier at the Hudson, covers aviation and space. Hudson Yards and the Vessel are south along the river, and several observation decks, including the Empire State Building and Top of the Rock, are close by.

Eating is the reason many visitors end up here. Restaurant Row on West 46th Street is a single block of tables, and Ninth Avenue runs through the middle of the neighborhood's food life with Thai, Mexican, Cuban, Greek and Sichuan places, taquerias, ramen counters, bakeries and dessert shops. Expect old-school diners, Irish pubs, pizza by the slice, halal carts on the corners and Korean fried chicken. Book ahead for dinner before a show, when the blocks near the theaters fill quickly; walk-in counters and late-night kitchens are easier later in the evening.

A day from Delta Hotels by Marriott New York Times Square

A day from Delta Hotels by Marriott New York Times Square can start with coffee and a pastry on Ninth Avenue, then a walk east to the Theater District to see the outside of the Broadway houses before the crowds arrive. Spend the middle of the day at the Museum of Modern Art or, in good weather, walk west to the Hudson for the Intrepid Museum. Return to Hell's Kitchen for an early dinner on Restaurant Row or along Ninth Avenue, then a show; evening curtains are typically at 7 or 8 pm, so check the show for the exact time. Afterward, the bars on Tenth Avenue stay open late, and the walk back to Delta Hotels by Marriott New York Times Square is short.
