Food and Drink Options

Fuel up before or after the show with options on-site and nearby. The hotel has its own restaurant and bar, and an à la carte breakfast is available—perfect if you’re sleeping off a late night. While there’s no 24/7 room service, the neighborhood is filled with late-night eats, from pizza joints to upscale bistros, all within walking distance.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself is more chill than clubby, you’re surrounded by options. Times Square’s buzzing bars, Broadway lounges, and rooftop hotspots are all a short walk away. And for those who prefer something more relaxed, the hotel bar is a great spot to sip a local cocktail and unwind.

What People Say

Guests rave about the central location, calling it “perfect for seeing a show and walking back safely.” Many highlight the modern, clean rooms and fantastic city views from some balconies. Friendly staff and smooth check-in also get shout-outs, especially from travelers arriving late or on tight schedules.

Areas for Improvement

Some reviewers mention that rooms can feel a bit compact—par for the course in NYC. Also, while the area is lively and well-lit, it can be busy and touristy, especially near Times Square, so expect some street noise outside.

The Bottom Line

If you want to stay stylishly close to NYC’s biggest concert venues with the comforts of a sleek, modern hotel, AC Hotel by Marriott New York Times Square hits all the right notes.
