Hyatt Regency Times Square

About Hyatt Regency Times Square

Hyatt Regency Times Square suits travelers who want the Theater District on the doorstep and Midtown within walking distance. Couples booking a show, colleagues in town for meetings and families on a first New York visit all fit here, because the address puts Broadway, the subway and the main rail stations close at hand. Days fill easily on foot, and evenings end a short walk from the lobby. Guests who prefer a quiet residential block should look further from the square.

Hyatt Regency Times Square is a 4-star hotel in the Midtown and Times Square area of Manhattan, with a guest score of 4.1 out of 5 from 7030 reviews, as reported by the booking supplier. That score suggests steady satisfaction across a large number of stays rather than a small sample. Expect a large, busy city hotel rather than a small guesthouse: a 24-hour front desk, a concierge and a restaurant are on the listed facilities. Confirm room type and any extras with the property before booking.

Rooms and listed facilities

Every listed facility here supports a straightforward city stay. The 24-hour front desk and luggage storage help late arrivals and early departures, free Wi-Fi covers business travelers and couples planning the next day, and elevators and wheelchair access matter for families with strollers or anyone who prefers to avoid stairs. A concierge and a restaurant are listed as well, and shuttle service appears among the facilities. Ask Hyatt Regency Times Square directly about breakfast arrangements, room configuration for families and shuttle details before you travel.

Couples tend to use the room as a base between shows, while business travelers value the desk space and the quick walk to Midtown offices. Families should confirm how many guests a room sleeps and whether connecting rooms are offered. The listed safe and luggage storage suit early arrivals and late departures. Because the building sits on Broadway, ask about room position and street-facing windows with Hyatt Regency Times Square when you book.

The setting

Hyatt Regency Times Square stands at 1605 Broadway, in Midtown Manhattan, with Times Square about 0.2 miles (0.3 km) away in a straight line. Broadway and the Theater District begin roughly 0.1 miles (0.1 km) from the door, and the Museum of Modern Art is about 0.4 miles (0.6 km). Grand Central Terminal and the edge of Central Park at Fifth Avenue and 59th Street are each about 0.7 miles (1.1 km) away, Penn Station about 0.8 miles (1.3 km). Expect street noise and heavy foot traffic at most hours, which comes with this address.

The immediate setting is the densest part of Midtown, where offices, theaters and hotels share the same blocks. The Intrepid Museum is about 0.8 miles (1.3 km) away in a straight line, and the 9/11 Memorial is about 3.7 miles (5.9 km) south. Subway entrances sit close by, so the rest of Manhattan is easy to reach. Evenings bring theater crowds, and streets stay lively late. Light sleepers should request a quieter room position when booking with Hyatt Regency Times Square.

Location and neighborhood

Traveling with children, the street grid works in your favor. Numbered streets run east to west and avenues run north to south, so a wrong turn costs a block rather than an afternoon. Fifth Avenue divides East from West, and Broadway cuts across on the diagonal. Hyatt Regency Times Square sits inside the Midtown and Times Square area, which runs from the Garment District blocks north of 34th Street down through the Theater District, Bryant Park and Rockefeller Center to Central Park South. Sidewalks are wide but crowded when the theaters empty. A stroller moves more easily before the evening rush.

Families use the area in two modes: daytime errands and evening spectacle. Fifth Avenue between Rockefeller Center and Central Park South holds the flagship stores, and those blocks fill quickly on weekends. Quieter ground exists. The Garment District north of 34th Street is calmer, and Bryant Park gives children room to move and a lawn to cross. Treat Times Square as a crossing rather than a destination at midday; the light show reads better after dark from a little farther back. Mornings are the calmest window for a walk east to west, and the grid keeps the route simple.

Getting there and around

Arriving is straightforward. 14 miles (21.9 km) is roughly the distance to the nearest airport, and the ride in from JFK or Newark typically takes 45 to 75 minutes depending on traffic and connections, so check the current options before setting out. 0.7 miles (1.1 km) covers the run to Grand Central Terminal and Penn Station, both connected to the subway. Penn Station occupies 34th Street between Seventh and Eighth Avenues. 0.2 miles (0.3 km) places you at the middle of the district. The subway runs 24 hours; tap a contactless card or phone at the turnstile. Check service changes with the MTA on the day.

Nearby sights and food

The sights cluster tightly. The Museum of Modern Art stands on West 53rd Street, and Broadway's theaters, about 40 houses, fill the blocks around Times Square. Grand Central Terminal is worth a stop for the concourse ceiling alone. Hudson Yards, on the West Side, holds the Vessel and the Edge observation deck. Several decks lift families above the streets: Top of the Rock at Rockefeller Center, the Empire State Building, SUMMIT One Vanderbilt beside Grand Central, and One World Observatory downtown. The American Museum of Natural History sits on Central Park West at 79th Street, an easy run north. Timed entries cut the waiting.

Food in Midtown is built for a crowd. Expect diners, pizza counters, delis, ramen shops, taquerias and bakeries along Ninth and Tenth Avenues in the Garment District, where tables turn fast. The Theater District leans toward grills and Italian places that fill before curtain. Near Bryant Park, sandwich shops and coffee bars suit a quick lunch, and the food halls around Rockefeller Center give children several cuisines under one roof, which helps when tastes differ. Children's menus are common. Reservations help at 7 pm. Ask about allergies before ordering.

A day from Hyatt Regency Times Square

A day from Hyatt Regency Times Square: start early, before the crowds gather. A walk north along Fifth Avenue reaches Central Park South, where the park opens its 843 acres of paths, lawns and playgrounds. Carry water. Come back down through Rockefeller Center and cross to Bryant Park for a sit and a run around the lawn. Lunch in the Garment District, then an afternoon at the Museum of Modern Art, where the upper floors move fastest with children. Return to Hyatt Regency Times Square to rest before an early dinner. Evening curtains run at 7 or 8 pm; check the show. Finish with the lights of Times Square from a little farther back, then walk to Hyatt Regency Times Square.
