Located along iconic 42nd Street just west of Times Square, this popular hotel offers up modern style at a good price. The rooms are small but modern with slick white furnishings and lots of tech amenities like smart TVs, very fast Wi-Fi, and rain showers. Some rooms also offer vibrant views over the city.
The lovely lobby of St. James Hotel is just off of Times Square.
Hotel St. James
W. 45th Street (Between 6th and 7th Avenues)
Rooms from $200
Close to: Lyceum Theatre, Palace Theatre, Belasco Theatre
This two-star spot is a rare breed in New York City — a family-run hotel with reasonable rates for this part of town. As one of the best deals near Times Square, guests shouldn’t expect luxury. But the simple rooms and sparkling clean bathrooms are well worth the price. The sitting lounge in the back of the hotel is a nice place to flip through your guidebook before heading out for the day.
Kasa the Duffy Times Square
W. 46th Street (Between 9th and 10th Avenues)
Rooms from $217
Close to: Walter Kerr Theatre, Music Box Theatre, Shubert Theatre, Gershwin Theatre
Tucked away on a nice-looking street not far from Time’s Square, this boutique hotel offers stylish rooms in a historic townhouse. Without a check-in desk (they send you an entry code), the experience is more like staying in your very own New York apartment. Walk out your door and you can explore the exciting streets of Hell’s Kitchen.
A renovated room at the Hotel Edison puts you just steps from your Broadway show!
Hotel Edison
W. 47th Street (Between Broadway and 8th Avenues)
Rooms from $240
Close to: Brooks Atkinson Theatre, Barrymore Theatre, Longacre Theatre, Richard Rodgers Theatre
Smack dab in the heart of the Theater District, this three-star hotel has been hosting Broadway fans since 1931. The hotel underwent a complete renovation in recent years that resulted in sleek rooms that kept the Art Deco charm but raised the prices. The C.O. Bigelow bath amenities add a touch of New York history and the on-site bar, The Rum House, is a fun spot with live jazz music.
