Merrion Row Hotel and Public House

Irish Charm Meets NYC Energy Just Steps from the Stage

Modern boutique meets warm Celtic hospitality at Merrion Row Hotel and Public House, located right in the heart of Times Square. With its cozy, pub-style vibe and unbeatable Midtown location, this boutique hotel offers travelers a unique and welcoming stay in the city that never sleeps. You're just minutes from iconic venues like Radio City Music Hall and within walking distance of Broadway theaters, making it perfect for catching a show or concert.

Why Concert-goers love it

You're right where the action is—less than a 10-minute walk from major music venues and subway lines for easy post-show travel. Despite the central location, guests report surprisingly quiet rooms thanks to thoughtful design. The 24-hour front desk is a plus for late arrivals, and the Irish pub downstairs is the perfect spot to wind down after the encore.

Food and Drink Options

Enjoy classic Irish dishes with a NYC twist at the on-site Public House restaurant and bar, open late for post-show bites. There’s also a locally-loved coffee shop right inside the hotel for your morning-after caffeine fix. While there's no 24/7 room service, the restaurant and bar hours run late, and you're surrounded by walkable food options in every direction.

Nightlife Options

Grab a perfectly poured pint at the hotel’s charming Irish pub, or explore the buzzing Times Square nightlife just outside your door. From rooftop bars to hidden lounges, you won’t need to go far to keep the night going.

What People Say

Guests rave about the hotel’s friendly staff, stylish rooms, and unbeatable location. Many say it feels like a hidden gem in the middle of Midtown. The Irish pub atmosphere gets high marks for both food and vibe, and the beds are frequently described as extremely comfortable—ideal for a good night’s rest after a long night out.

Areas for Improvement

Rooms can feel cozy (aka small)—this is Manhattan, after all. Some guests mention that the lobby and entrance are a bit understated and easy to miss. And while the pub is a plus, it can get a little lively at times, so light sleepers may want to request a higher-floor room.

The Bottom Line

With its unbeatable location, unique atmosphere, and warm hospitality, Merrion Row Hotel and Public House is a top pick for concert-goers looking to stay in the heart of NYC without sacrificing comfort or charm.
