About Ariya New York Times Square Tapestry Collection by Hilton

Confirm the details that matter to your trip with the property before booking.

Ariya New York Times Square is a 4-star hotel in Midtown Manhattan. The address on West 38th Street places it among offices, theaters and transit rather than in a quiet residential block, so the stay is practical: days of meetings or sightseeing, evenings at a show. A restaurant, a fitness center and a business center are listed, along with meeting space. Room categories and any charges added at checkout are best confirmed with the property.

Rooms and listed facilities

Facilities listed for Ariya New York Times Square cover the basics of a Midtown stay: air conditioning, Wi-Fi and internet access, elevators, luggage storage and a safe. Couples get a restaurant and a snack bar on site; business travelers get a business center, a meeting room and a gym. Families can ask about pets and parking, both listed. Late arrivals should confirm reception hours and luggage storage directly with the property, and ask which room types fit the group, since layouts and occupancy limits vary.

Rooms at Ariya New York Times Square are worth discussing with the property before booking, since a Midtown building mixes room shapes and outlooks. Ask which categories suit two people on a theater trip, a colleague working from the desk or a family sharing for a few nights. Confirm bed configuration, floor level and anything the room needs to include for your stay, and check the total price with taxes and fees when booking.

The setting

The hotel stands at 36 W 38th Street, a cross street in Midtown Manhattan a short walk south of Bryant Park and the office core around Grand Central Terminal. Straight-line distances give the shape of the day: Times Square about 0.4 miles (0.7 km), Grand Central Terminal about 0.4 miles (0.6 km), Penn Station about 0.5 miles (0.8 km), and Central Park at Fifth Avenue and 59th Street about 1.1 miles (1.7 km). Broadway theaters are about 0.5 miles (0.8 km) away and the Museum of Modern Art about 0.7 miles (1.2 km). Distances are straight-line, so walking routes run longer.

Location and neighborhood

Evenings in Midtown start early. Broadway curtains usually rise at 7 or 8 pm, so tables around the Theater District fill from about 5 pm; check the show for the exact time. Book ahead within a short walk of Times Square on a performance night. Away from the theater blocks the pace is calmer: Bryant Park at dusk, the concourse at Rockefeller Center, Fifth Avenue windows lit after dark. Weeknights and weekends feel different here. Tuesday through Thursday brings the office crowd, while Friday and Saturday belong to visitors and to anyone who has booked a show.

The food map of Midtown runs on categories as much as cuisines. Steakhouses and old-line diners sit near the Theater District; sushi bars, ramen shops and small Japanese counters thread the side streets; trattorias and wine bars fill the blocks toward Fifth Avenue. Quick meals are easy: pizza by the slice, food halls, sandwich counters. The Garment District north of 34th Street keeps a lunchtime trade and quieter tables after dark. Reservations matter for dinner on show nights, and walk-in counters are simpler at lunch. Within a few blocks of Ariya New York Times Square Tapestry Collection by Hilton, Korean, Thai, Indian and Italian kitchens all appear.

Getting there and around

The grid does most of the work. Numbered streets run east to west and avenues run north to south, with Fifth Avenue dividing East from West addresses, so a cross-town walk is short and a north-south one is longer than it looks on a map. The subway runs 24 hours: tap a contactless card or phone at the turnstile, and check the Metropolitan Transportation Authority for planned service changes. Distances are compact: the district center is around 0.4 miles (0.7 km) from Ariya New York Times Square Tapestry Collection by Hilton, Penn Station and Grand Central Terminal around 0.4 miles (0.6 km), the airports around 13 miles (21.3 km) depending on route and traffic.

Nearby sights and food

Sights cluster within a short walk or one or two subway stops. The Theater District packs about 40 Broadway houses into the blocks around Times Square, and evening curtains are typically at 7 or 8 pm, so check the show. The Museum of Modern Art sits on West 53rd Street. Observation decks at Rockefeller Center, beside Grand Central Terminal and at Hudson Yards give three distinct views. Grand Central's concourse and ceiling reward a look even without a train to catch. West of the district, the Intrepid Museum occupies a Hudson pier, and Hudson Yards holds the Vessel.

For a food-led evening, choices divide by mood. A steakhouse or an old-line Italian room suits a long dinner before a curtain; small Japanese counters and wine bars suit a quick plate and a glass. Pizza by the slice, falafel carts, ramen and Thai kitchens cover the fast end, and food halls handle groups with different appetites. Dessert holds its own, from cheesecake to gelato. Delis and bakeries cover a picnic for Bryant Park. Reserve for dinner on performance nights and expect queues at peak lunch hours.

A day from Ariya New York Times Square Tapestry Collection by Hilton

A day from Ariya New York Times Square Tapestry Collection by Hilton: a morning walk east through Bryant Park before the office crowd arrives, then the Museum of Modern Art while it is quiet. Lunch on a side street north of 34th Street, or a quick counter meal if the afternoon is full. Ride an observation deck for the view, or head west to the Intrepid Museum on the Hudson. Book dinner early, around 5:30 pm, when a show is on the plan, and check the curtain time on the ticket. After the theater, Times Square stays bright and loud; the side streets north of it go quiet.
