Millennium Hotel Broadway Times Square

About Millennium Hotel Broadway Times Square

This hotel suits travelers who want Times Square on the doorstep and a Midtown base for a short city visit. Broadway theaters, the Theater District and several observation decks sit within walking distance, and Grand Central Terminal is a short walk east for connections across the city. Couples can treat it as a place to sleep between shows and museums. Business travelers get a central address near offices and transit. Families who value space over quiet may prefer elsewhere, since the street is busy at most hours.

This is a full-service hotel with a 4-star rating and a working-day brief: a 24-hour front desk, a fitness center, business facilities and free Wi-Fi for guests who need to keep things moving. The booking supplier gives it a guest score of 3.6 out of 5 from 5,943 reviews, a middling result that points to a functional stay rather than a polished one. Rooms are carpeted and air conditioned. Expect a practical base where location does much of the work.

Rooms and listed facilities

The listed facilities cover the basics well. Couples get air conditioning, carpeted rooms and a safe, plus free Wi-Fi. Families can ask about the listed crib and family rooms when booking, and about how many people a room holds. Business travelers have the listed business center, internet access and a 24-hour front desk. Late arrivals can check in at any hour and leave bags in listed luggage storage. Parking is listed, so confirm the arrangement and the total price, with taxes and fees, with the property before arrival. Pets are listed as allowed; confirm the rules too.

The listed fitness center and gym suit guests who want a workout before a day of meetings or walking, and the listed breakfast is useful when a morning show or train leaves little time. Couples booking a theater weekend can ask which room types face away from the street. Travelers arriving late should confirm key collection and parking access with the property in advance, since arrangements are handled case by case.

The setting

The hotel sits on West 44th Street in Midtown, a block from Times Square and inside the Theater District, so evening curtains are within walking distance. Straight-line distances give a fair picture of the rest: Times Square about 0.1 miles (0.1 km), Grand Central Terminal about 0.5 miles (0.8 km), Penn Station about 0.6 miles (1 km), Central Park at Fifth Avenue and 59th Street about 0.8 miles (1.3 km), and the 9/11 Memorial about 3.5 miles (5.6 km). Expect traffic and crowds at most hours.

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 Millennium Hotel Broadway Times Square, 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 0.1 miles (0.1 km) from Millennium Hotel Broadway Times Square, Penn Station and Grand Central Terminal around 0.5 miles (0.8 km), the airports around 13 miles (21.7 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 Millennium Hotel Broadway Times Square

A day from Millennium Hotel Broadway Times Square: 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.
