Hilton New York Times Square is a 4-star, 44-story hotel on renowned 42nd Street, set in the middle of Times Square’s theater, shopping, and restaurant district. Rooms are warm and modern, featuring custom-designed beds, desks, minifridges, laptop-sized safes, 46-inch flat-screen TVs, and Wi‑Fi; some rooms offer panoramic city views. Suites add separate living areas and pull-out sofas for extra space. On-site amenities include a casual restaurant serving breakfast and a sleek bar with views overlooking Times Square, plus a 24/7 fitness center. The location places you within easy reach of Bryant Park (603 m), Rockefeller Center (885 m), the Empire State Building (951 m), Grand Central Terminal (1076 m), and the Museum of Modern Art (1083 m). It’s also about a 15-minute walk to the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center, making it a practical base for both leisure and work trips in Midtown Manhattan.
Best for
This hotel suits travelers who want a true Times Square address with quick access to Midtown landmarks like Rockefeller Center, Grand Central Terminal, and Bryant Park, all within about a 0.6–1.1 km walk. It’s also a strong fit for guests who value on-site basics done well—breakfast, a bar/restaurant, and a 24/7 fitness center—without leaving the building. Suites with separate living areas and pull-out sofas can work well for small groups who want more room to spread out.
Travel tips
Times Square is only about 313 m away, so expect busy sidewalks and street activity outside; allow a little extra time if you’re heading to evening shows or peak tourist hours. If you’re driving, note that guest feedback mentions very high parking costs in the area (including a reported $115/night fee), so compare options or consider arriving without a car. For sightseeing on foot, this address is convenient for Top of the Rock (847 m), the Empire State Building (951 m), and MoMA (1083 m), with longer walks to Central Park (3482 m) and The Met (3325 m).
What guests say
Guests repeatedly highlight the central Times Square location as a major advantage for sightseeing and trips focused on Midtown attractions. Service is a consistent positive theme, with friendly staff and smooth check-in mentioned, along with good overall cleanliness. The downstairs bar/restaurant is also noted positively for food and drink options. On the downside, some guests feel the rooms run a bit small, and parking costs are described as very high by at least one reviewer.
