Embassy Suites by Hilton New York Manhattan Times Square

About Embassy Suites by Hilton New York Manhattan Times Square

Embassy Suites by Hilton New York Manhattan Times Square suits travelers who want Midtown on foot: the Theater District, Penn Station and Grand Central Terminal are all about 0.4 miles (0.7 km) away in a straight line. Couples can walk to an evening curtain and back, business travelers reach the office districts quickly, and families get a base with room to spread out. The 24 hour front desk helps with late arrivals, and the listed concierge and luggage storage make short city breaks easier to plan.

Expect a full-service Midtown hotel rather than a boutique stay. The official rating is 4-star, and the booking supplier records a guest score of 3.9 out of 5 from 2574 reviews, which points to a steady, well-used address in a busy part of the city. Guests come for the location and the practical list of services: free Wi-Fi, a fitness center, a restaurant and a snack bar on site. Read the supplier's score as a general guide and check the total price with taxes and fees before booking.

Rooms and listed facilities

The listed facilities cover the basics well. Couples get air conditioning, free Wi-Fi and a terrace for a quiet pause between outings. Families can ask about family rooms and cribs when booking. Business travelers have a business center, internet access and room service, and late arrivals can rely on the 24 hour front desk and luggage storage. Parking and pets allowed are listed too, so confirm the details, and any pet rules or parking arrangements, with the property before you travel.

The setting

Embassy Suites by Hilton New York Manhattan Times Square stands at 60 West 37th Street, between Sixth Avenue and Broadway in Midtown. Times Square, Grand Central Terminal and Penn Station are each about 0.4 miles (0.7 km) away in a straight line, and the Theater District about 0.6 miles (0.9 km), so most evenings start and end on foot. Central Park at Fifth Avenue and 59th Street is about 1.1 miles (1.8 km) north.

Location and neighborhood

Midtown suits couples who like a slow start and a short walk to everything else. The blocks between 34th Street and Central Park South hold the Theater District, Bryant Park and Rockefeller Center, and the grid makes them easy to cross on foot. Fifth Avenue runs north to the park, and Broadway cuts across it at an angle, which is why the streets around Times Square feel less regular than the rest. Evenings bring people to the theaters; mornings belong to office workers and to anyone walking the park. Embassy Suites by Hilton New York Manhattan Times Square puts that mix within reach.

A weekend here can stay small. Coffee, a museum, a long lunch, a show, and the distances remain walkable. The Garment District north of 34th Street is quieter at weekends than the blocks near Times Square, and Bryant Park gives you a lawn, chairs and a place to sit without a plan. Museum Mile begins at 82nd Street, further north than most weekend routes need to go. Couples who prefer a calmer base often look at the eastern edge of Midtown, where the streets empty out after the offices close. Embassy Suites by Hilton New York Manhattan Times Square sits inside that pattern.

Getting there and around

Arriving is straightforward. JFK and Newark are typically 45 to 75 minutes away by road and rail depending on traffic and connections, and LaGuardia is the closest by road. 13 miles (21.4 km) is the straight-line distance to the airports; the ride itself follows the traffic. The main rail stations sit within 0.4 miles (0.7 km), and the center of the district is 0.4 miles (0.7 km) from the door. The subway runs 24 hours, paid by tapping a contactless card or phone, with a weekly cap on spending. Vehicles entering Manhattan below 60th Street pay a congestion toll.

Nearby sights and food

Most of the sights sit close together. The Theater District runs through Times Square, with around 40 Broadway houses and evening curtains usually at 7 or 8 pm, so check the show you plan to see. The Museum of Modern Art is on West 53rd Street. Observation decks at Rockefeller Center, the Empire State Building and the tower beside Grand Central give three different views of the same grid. Grand Central Terminal rewards a slow look at the main concourse. Further west, Hudson Yards and the Vessel sit at the end of the High Line, and the Intrepid Museum is on the Hudson at 46th Street.

Food is the easy part. The blocks around Times Square and the Theater District carry a dense spread of places to eat before a curtain, from pizza slices and noodles to steakhouse menus. Ninth Avenue through the Garment District is a good line to walk when nobody wants to decide quickly. Bryant Park has benches for a takeaway lunch. For a slower meal, the side streets east of Fifth Avenue hold small dining rooms, and the Rockefeller Center concourse is useful on a wet day. Book ahead for weekend evenings, when tables near the theaters fill.

A day from Embassy Suites by Hilton New York Manhattan Times Square

Begin late. Breakfast somewhere near the hotel, then walk north on Fifth Avenue as the stores open and the sidewalks are still light. Turn into Bryant Park for a bench, or continue to the Museum of Modern Art and give it two hours rather than four. Lunch on a side street, unhurried. In the afternoon, choose one observation deck: the one at Rockefeller Center for the park view, or the Empire State Building for the grid. Rest before the evening. Dinner early, then a curtain at 7 or 8 pm, checked against the show. Afterward, walk back through Times Square when the crowds have thinned, and end with the long view down Broadway from Embassy Suites by Hilton New York Manhattan Times Square's block.
