4-star hotel
Guest rating: 4.3 / 5
The InterContinental New York Times Square by IHG is a high-rise 4-star hotel set just off Times Square, one block from the crossroads itself and within easy walking distance of Bryant Park, Rockefeller Center, and Top of The Rock. Upscale guest rooms feature city views, rainfall-showerhead bathrooms, Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs, iPod docks, and Keurig coffeemakers, while upgraded rooms add sitting areas with pull-out sofas for extra flexibility. Suites go further with floor-to-ceiling windows framing skyline views, separate living and dining areas, and soaking tubs. On site, guests can dine at a sophisticated restaurant helmed by chef Todd English serving upmarket French cuisine, or unwind at the hotel's cocktail bar. A 24-hour fitness center keeps travelers on routine regardless of schedule, and a business center paired with ten meeting rooms supports corporate stays. With Grand Central Terminal, St. Patrick's Cathedral, and the Museum of Modern Art all within roughly a kilometer, the location puts much of Midtown Manhattan's sightseeing within a short walk.
Best for
This hotel suits travelers who want to be steps from Times Square but slightly removed from its busiest foot traffic, including sightseers heading to Rockefeller Center, Top of The Rock, and Bryant Park, all under a kilometer away. Business travelers benefit from the on-site business center and ten meeting rooms, while food-focused guests will appreciate the Todd English restaurant and cocktail bar for dining without leaving the property.
Travel tips
Book ahead knowing the hotel sits about 332 meters from Times Square, making it easy to walk to Broadway theaters and nearby subway lines rather than rely on taxis. Museum-goers should plan a route that takes in MoMA (roughly 1 km) and Top of The Rock (about 840 m) before venturing further to the Met or Central Park, both over 3 km away. Note that some guests have mentioned the lobby offers limited seating outside the bar area, so plan checkout timing accordingly if you have a gap before transfer.
What guests say
Guests consistently praise the staff and the hotel's proximity to Times Square and other Midtown attractions, along with comfortable beds and generally clean rooms. The Todd English-affiliated restaurant draws specific praise for its steaks, wine selection, and attentive service, and breakfast is frequently called a highlight. Recurring criticisms include rooms feeling small, the property appearing dated or worn and in need of renovation, and occasional inconsistency in front-desk service, with a few guests reporting unhelpful or curt staff interactions. A small number of guests also noted minor housekeeping lapses and limited lobby seating for waiting between checkout and transfer.
