Times Square sits at the crossroads of Broadway and 7th Avenue in Midtown Manhattan, and it is the default answer for first-time visitors asking where to stay in New York.
The Closer to Broadway, the Louder It Gets
Hotels directly on Broadway or 7th Avenue between West 42nd and 47th Street sit inside the loudest, busiest stretch of the neighborhood. Moving a few blocks north or west, toward 8th or 9th Avenue, trades some of that energy for a quieter night’s sleep without losing the short walk to the theater district.
Everything Within Walking Distance
Broadway theaters, Rockefeller Center, Bryant Park, and Grand Central Terminal are all a short walk away, and the neighborhood sits on top of some of the city’s busiest subway lines, making it an easy base for reaching the rest of Manhattan.
