The Time New York part of JdV by Hyatt

About The Time New York part of JdV by Hyatt

The Time New York part of JdV by Hyatt suits travelers who want a Midtown base within walking distance of the Theater District, Times Square and the Museum of Modern Art. Couples on a short city break, business travelers with meetings around Rockefeller Center, and groups who plan evenings at the theater all fit the address. The 4-star property sits on West 49th Street, so a night out ends a short walk from the lobby. Late arrivals and families traveling together will find the listed services useful.

This is a city hotel built around convenience rather than resort time. The official star rating is 4-star, and the supplier's guest score is 4.0 out of 5 from 1170 reviews. Expect a working base for a Manhattan trip: you eat out, walk to a show and return to sleep. The building holds a restaurant, a fitness center and a 24 hour front desk among its listed facilities, and the address keeps airport transfers and evening plans simple. Bookings open in the IMPT app.

Rooms and listed facilities

The listed facilities cover the practical side of a city stay. Couples get air conditioning, a minibar and a safe in the room, plus a restaurant in the building for a simple meal. Families can ask about the listed crib and family rooms when booking, since room layouts vary. Business travelers get free Wi-Fi, internet access, a concierge and banquet space, and a 24 hour front desk serves late arrivals. Parking and pets are listed, so confirm the details and any charges with the property before you travel.

The setting

The Time New York part of JdV by Hyatt stands at 224 West 49th Street, on a Midtown block between the theater blocks and the office towers around Rockefeller Center. Central Park at Fifth Avenue and 59th Street is about 0.7 miles (1.1 km), Grand Central Terminal about 0.7 miles (1.2 km), and Penn Station about 0.9 miles (1.4 km), so most of Midtown is walkable.

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 The Time New York part of JdV by Hyatt, 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 0.2 miles (0.3 km) from The Time New York part of JdV by Hyatt, Penn Station and Grand Central Terminal around 0.7 miles (1.2 km), the airports around 14 miles (22 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 The Time New York part of JdV by Hyatt

A day from The Time New York part of JdV by Hyatt: 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.
