About Home2 Suites By Hilton New York Times Square

Travelers who want the Theater District on foot and a kitchen at the end of the evening fit this address well. Couples on a first Manhattan trip, small families and people in town for meetings around Midtown all work from the same base: 150 W 48th Street, with Times Square about 0.1 miles (0.2 km) away in a straight line. Free Wi-Fi is listed for work, and a 24 hour front desk covers late arrivals. Every booking opens prices and availability in the IMPT app.

This is a 3-star hotel rather than a full-service one, and the supplier's guest score is 3.5 out of 5 from 516 reviews, a figure drawn from past stays across the year. Kitchen and kitchenette space appear among the listed facilities, which suits a trip built around simple meals and long days out. Broadway sits about 0.1 miles (0.1 km) away in a straight line. Treat the score as one signal among several when you compare.

The setting

Home2 Suites By Hilton New York Times Square sits at 150 W 48th Street, a Midtown side street with Broadway and the Theater District about 0.1 miles (0.1 km) away in a straight line. Times Square is about 0.1 miles (0.2 km), Grand Central Terminal about 0.6 miles (0.9 km) and Penn Station about 0.8 miles (1.3 km), so rail arrivals can walk. Mornings are calm; evenings are busy.

Location and neighborhood

Midtown and Times Square sit at the center of Manhattan's transport network, which matters most on the days you arrive and leave. Penn Station and the Port Authority Bus Terminal are both in the district, and Grand Central Terminal is a short walk east along 42nd Street. Trains and buses run late, and the subway runs all night, so a delayed arrival rarely strands you. If you land before check-in, the hours are best spent walking the grid or sitting in Bryant Park. Check current airport connections with the transit authority before you set out.

Late arrivals have their own rhythm here. The streets stay busy well after midnight, and the Theater District empties in waves as curtains come down, so walking back to Home2 Suites By Hilton New York Times Square rarely means an empty block. Times Square is the brightest and most crowded crossing at any hour; side streets north and east of it are quieter. Subway service changes happen on weekends and late nights, so check the transit authority's service notices the evening before an early departure. For a dawn flight, allow slack: security lines at the airports can be long in the early morning, and road traffic into Queens or New Jersey builds quickly.

Getting there and around

From Home2 Suites By Hilton New York Times Square, the three airports sit at different distances and different connections. JFK is around 14 miles (21.8 km) away, reached by AirTrain to Jamaica for the subway or the Long Island Rail Road, or to Howard Beach for the A train. Newark Liberty takes a similar time by AirTrain and NJ Transit or Amtrak into Penn Station. LaGuardia is closest by road, with the free Q70 bus linking to the subway. Grand Central Terminal is around 0.6 miles (0.9 km) from the door, and Penn Station and the Port Authority Bus Terminal are walkable. Tap a contactless card or phone to ride the subway, which runs around the clock.

Nearby sights and food

Most of the district's sights sit within a few blocks of one another. The Theater District runs north from 42nd Street around Times Square, and Bryant Park, behind the main library building, fills at lunchtime in good weather. Rockefeller Center is a short walk east, and the observation decks there, at One Vanderbilt beside Grand Central and in the Empire State Building, each show the grid from a different height; reserve a timed slot and check visibility. Fifth Avenue's flagship stores continue north to Central Park South. The Museum of Modern Art is on West 53rd Street; check opening hours and timed entry before you go.

Food in Midtown is built for people in a hurry and people killing time before a curtain. The blocks around Times Square and 42nd Street run to slice shops, diners, ramen counters and steakhouse dining rooms, most of them busy from early evening. The Garment District north of 34th Street has delis, taquerias and Korean kitchens, often cheaper and quieter than the Theater District. Ninth Avenue in the west forties holds a mix of Thai, Greek and Italian places. Book ahead for a pre-theater table, or eat late after the show; many kitchens serve past midnight.

A day from Home2 Suites By Hilton New York Times Square

A day from Home2 Suites By Hilton New York Times Square starts early if a flight is waiting. Walk to Bryant Park for coffee and a bench, then cut east through Grand Central Terminal to see the concourse before the commuter rush thickens. Work north on Fifth Avenue to Central Park South and enter the park at its southeast corner; the paths by the Pond and the lake suit a short loop. Lunch near Rockefeller Center, then an afternoon at the Museum of Modern Art or on an observation deck. Eat before a 7 or 8 pm curtain, and check the show's start time. For a late arrival, reverse the plan: the park at dusk, dinner after 9, and a quiet walk back.
