SpringHill Suites by Marriott New York Midtown Manhattan

About SpringHill Suites by Marriott New York Midtown Manhattan

SpringHill Suites by Marriott New York Midtown Manhattan suits travelers who want a central Midtown base without a long walk to the theater. The address on West 37th Street puts Penn Station, Grand Central Terminal and Times Square within about about two-thirds of a mile, so arrivals by train and evenings at a Broadway show stay simple. Business guests are close to the office towers around Herald Square and Bryant Park, and families get a Midtown position that shortens trips to Central Park and the museums on Fifth Avenue.

This is a three-star hotel in Midtown Manhattan, part of a large international chain, and it works as a straightforward city stay rather than a destination in itself. The booking supplier gives SpringHill Suites by Marriott New York Midtown Manhattan a guest score of 4.2 out of 5 from 999 reviews; treat that as the supplier's own summary of past stays, not a fixed promise. Expect a busy, businesslike address where the room is a base and the neighborhood does the entertaining. Check the total price with taxes and fees before booking.

Rooms and listed facilities

The facilities listed by the supplier cover the practical side of a city stay: free Wi-Fi and internet access, air conditioning, a safe, a 24 hour front desk, 24 hour security and elevators. Couples can settle in late without rushing, families can ask about cribs, and business travelers have a business center. Parking and valet parking are listed, which matters in Midtown. Confirm with the property how parking is arranged, whether the terrace is open, and what the room layout includes, since only the listed items are guaranteed here.

Laundry service and a banquet room also appear on the supplier's list, which helps longer stays and group plans. A wheelchair accessible designation is listed as well. For late arrivals, the 24 hour front desk and 24 hour security mean a Midtown check-in does not depend on office hours. Ask SpringHill Suites by Marriott New York Midtown Manhattan what your room setup includes, whether a crib needs reserving ahead, and how the terrace is used during your dates.

The setting

SpringHill Suites by Marriott New York Midtown Manhattan sits on West 37th Street, a few blocks south of Times Square, in the Midtown grid where numbered streets run east to west and avenues run north to south. Straight-line distances are short: Times Square about 0.5 miles (0.8 km), Grand Central Terminal about 0.4 miles (0.7 km), Penn Station about 0.4 miles (0.7 km), the observation decks about 0.4 miles (0.7 km), and Central Park at Fifth Avenue and 59th Street about 1.1 miles (1.8 km). The 9/11 Memorial is about 3.1 miles (5 km) south.

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 SpringHill Suites by Marriott New York Midtown Manhattan, 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 0.5 miles (0.8 km) from SpringHill Suites by Marriott New York Midtown Manhattan, Penn Station and Grand Central Terminal around 0.4 miles (0.7 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 SpringHill Suites by Marriott New York Midtown Manhattan

A day from SpringHill Suites by Marriott New York Midtown Manhattan: 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.
