Pestana CR7 Times Square

About Pestana CR7 Times Square

Pestana CR7 Times Square suits travelers who want a Midtown base within walking distance of the theater district and Penn Station. Couples on a short city break, solo visitors with a packed schedule and small groups of friends all fit the same brief: a central address, a straightforward four-star stay and easy access to the subway. Business travelers will find the location practical for meetings in Midtown. Late arrivals land well here too, because the front desk runs around the clock and the streets nearby stay busy into the evening.

Pestana CR7 Times Square is a four-star hotel in Hell's Kitchen, on the west side of Midtown Manhattan. That score comes from guests who booked through the supplier, and it is the figure used on this page. The stay is urban and central rather than self-contained: you sleep, shower and set out again, with theaters, subway stations and the streets around Penn Station within a short walk or ride.

Rooms and listed facilities

The listed facilities cover the basics well. Air conditioning and a minibar appear on the supplier's list, wifi is free, and the 24 hour front desk handles late arrivals and early departures. Couples can ask about room types with more space; families should confirm what a family room includes and how many people it sleeps. Business travelers have a business center, internet access and room service. Parking, laundry service, luggage storage, a fitness center, a safe and wheelchair access are listed. Confirm the details that matter to you with the property before booking.

Rooms at Pestana CR7 Times Square are described through the supplier's facility list, which includes lifts, carpeted floors, a safe and a minibar. Light sleepers may want to request a quieter position and confirm it with the property. Travelers who work in the evening can rely on internet access and room service. Anyone arriving late should tell the front desk in advance so the check-in goes quickly, and should confirm the sleeping capacity of each room type with the property directly.

The setting

Pestana CR7 Times Square sits at 338 West 39th Street, in Hell's Kitchen on Manhattan's west side. Times Square is about 0.4 miles (0.7 km) away in a straight line, Penn Station about 0.4 miles (0.6 km), so train arrivals and evening theater plans both stay simple. Grand Central Terminal is about 0.9 miles (1.4 km), the main observation decks about 0.9 miles (1.4 km), and Central Park about 1.2 miles (1.9 km). The 9/11 Memorial is about 3.2 miles (5.2 km) south. The blocks around the hotel mix residential buildings, small businesses and busy avenues.

Hell's Kitchen puts Pestana CR7 Times Square on the western edge of Midtown, with the Hudson River a short walk west and the theater district a short walk north and east. JFK is about 14 miles (22.2 km) away in a straight line, LaGuardia about 6.4 miles (10.3 km) and Newark Liberty about 11 miles (17 km). The grid keeps orientation simple: numbered streets run east to west, avenues run north to south, and Fifth Avenue divides East from West street numbers.

Location and neighborhood

For a long stay on a budget, Hell's Kitchen works as a practical base: a west-side Midtown neighborhood of numbered streets between the Theater District and the Hudson River, roughly from 34th Street to 59th Street. Everyday errands are easy here. Grocery stores, laundromats and casual takeout counters sit along Ninth Avenue and the side streets, and the grid makes repeated trips simple. From Pestana CR7 Times Square, most of the neighborhood is walkable, and the subway opens up more eating options and free sights farther afield. The area stays busy late, so evening walks feel straightforward, and you can settle into a routine rather than treat every day as a special outing.

Restaurant Row on West 46th Street and the food blocks along Ninth Avenue give budget travelers plenty of choice without formality. Expect pizza slices, falafel, tacos, noodles, diner breakfasts and deli sandwiches, plus bakeries for picnic supplies. Portions tend to be generous, and many places sell food by the piece or by the container, which suits longer stays. Lunch service and counter seating are common, though hours change, so check menus and opening times before sitting down. From Pestana CR7 Times Square, a short walk reaches these streets, and the side avenues hold smaller groceries and fruit stands for simple meals.

Getting there and around

Hell's Kitchen is easy to reach by public transport. Subway lines run along Eighth Avenue and Broadway, and buses cross Midtown on the main avenues; service changes happen, so check the MTA before a long ride. From Pestana CR7 Times Square, walking is often the quickest way around the neighborhood, while the subway connects to the rest of Manhattan. The area sits around 14 miles (22.2 km) from the airports served by AirTrain and rail links, and around 0.9 miles (1.4 km) from the main rail stations. Pay for subway and bus rides by tapping a contactless card or phone; the MetroCard is being phased out, so check current payment rules with the MTA.

Nearby sights and food

Most big sights are within walking distance or a short subway ride. The Intrepid Museum sits by the Hudson piers, the Theater District and Broadway houses begin just east of Hell's Kitchen, and the Museum of Modern Art is a straightforward walk or short trip away. Hudson Yards and the Vessel are south along the west side, while observation decks at several skyscrapers give high views; check opening hours and ticketing before going. Grand Central Terminal is an easy trip east for its architecture and transit hall. On budget days, pair ticketed sights with free walks along the Hudson, and ask each venue about free or reduced entry times.

Eating on a budget in Hell's Kitchen is mostly a matter of looking past the Theater District frontage. Ninth Avenue and the side streets hold pizza counters, falafel shops, taquerias, noodle bars, diners, delis and bakeries. Many places sell by the slice, bowl or container, which helps when you are staying a while and do not want a full restaurant meal every night. Grocery stores and fruit stands make picnic and kitchen-free lunches possible. Lunch menus are often simpler than dinner, but that varies, so check before ordering.

A day from Pestana CR7 Times Square

A day from Pestana CR7 Times Square can start with a walk west toward the Hudson for a free riverside path and views across the water. Continue south to Hudson Yards to see the Vessel and the public plaza, then loop back through the side streets for a counter lunch. In the afternoon, choose one ticketed sight, such as the Intrepid Museum or the Museum of Modern Art, and check opening days before setting out. Grand Central Terminal makes an easy late-afternoon stop for its architecture. In the evening, walk through the Theater District for the street atmosphere, or take the subway to a budget eating pocket in the neighborhood. Keep the plan loose and use the grid to link errands with sightseeing.
