OYO Times Square

About OYO Times Square

OYO Times Square suits travelers who want to stay inside the Theater District rather than commute into it. The address on West 47th Street puts evening curtains, Times Square and the Midtown grid within a short walk, which helps on a short first visit, a theater weekend or a work trip with meetings in Midtown. Couples and small groups who plan to spend most of the day out in the city get a practical base here, and late arrivals benefit from a front desk that stays open around the clock.

That supplier score suggests a straightforward city hotel rather than a luxury stay, and the star rating places it in the upper bracket on paper. Treat the score as one input among several and weigh it against the address, which puts Times Square and the theaters within a short walk. Rooms, rates and availability appear in the IMPT app, where the booking buttons open prices and availability.

The setting

OYO Times Square stands on West 47th Street, between Sixth and Seventh Avenues in the Theater District, close to where Broadway cuts across the grid. Times Square is about 0.1 miles (0.2 km) away in a straight line, so the lights and crowds are close at hand. The Museum of Modern Art is about 0.4 miles (0.6 km) from the door.

Location and neighborhood

Midtown is where Manhattan does its business. Office towers fill the blocks between 34th and 59th Streets, and the street grid keeps addresses easy to follow: numbered streets run east to west, avenues north to south, and Fifth Avenue divides East from West. Times Square sits where Broadway crosses the grid, and the Theater District around it holds about 40 Broadway houses. Bryant Park, Rockefeller Center and the stretch of Fifth Avenue up to Central Park South all fall inside the same district, so most meetings sit within a short walk or a single subway ride.

A working day here starts early. Coffee counters and delis open before eight, the sidewalks fill with commuters, and the pace settles once offices do. Lunch runs on a tight clock, so tables turn fast. In the evening the Theater District takes over, and curtains are typically at 7 or 8 pm, so check the show before planning dinner. West of Eighth Avenue, the Garment District blocks north of 34th Street are quieter and more industrial in feel. Subway service changes are common at weekends; check the transit authority before relying on a route.

Getting there and around

OYO Times Square sits inside the grid, so most trips start on foot. Penn Station on 34th Street between Seventh and Eighth Avenues is around 0.6 miles (0.9 km) away; Grand Central Terminal at 42nd and Park sits a few blocks east. The airports lie outside Manhattan: the road distance to JFK or Newark Liberty is around 13 miles (21.7 km), and the trip typically takes 45 to 75 minutes depending on traffic and connections. LaGuardia is closest by road, with a free connecting bus to the subway. Tap a contactless card or phone to ride; trains run 24 hours. Vehicles entering below 60th Street pay a congestion toll.

Nearby sights and food

The district's sights sit close together. Times Square and the Theater District anchor the center, with about 40 Broadway houses around them. Bryant Park, behind the main library building, gives a green pause at 42nd Street. Rockefeller Center runs west from Fifth Avenue, and Top of the Rock puts an observation deck on floors 67 to 70. The Museum of Modern Art is a few blocks north. Grand Central Terminal at 42nd and Park rewards a look at the concourse. Central Park starts at 59th Street, and the Empire State Building deck and SUMMIT One Vanderbilt are both walkable. The Intrepid Museum and Hudson Yards sit farther west.

Food in Midtown is built for the working day. Delis and counter-service spots handle breakfast and a fast lunch, and the side streets west of Ninth Avenue hold more sit-down places than the main avenues suggest. Italian, Japanese, Korean, Thai, Mexican and steakhouse menus are all easy to find, along with Irish pubs and wine bars for a later table. The Theater District fills early before curtains, so the quieter blocks west of Eighth Avenue and around Bryant Park are easier at six. Reserve ahead on show nights.

A day from OYO Times Square

A day from OYO Times Square. Start with an early walk east to Bryant Park before the office crowd arrives, then follow Fifth Avenue north past Rockefeller Center toward Central Park South. Spend the middle of the day indoors: the Museum of Modern Art holds enough for two or three hours. Return south through the Garment District for an afternoon pause, and be near Times Square by early evening, when curtains are typically at 7 or 8 pm; check the show. If theater is not the plan, ride to an observation deck for sunset. OYO Times Square keeps the loop simple, with most of it within walking distance or a short subway ride.
