Why Concert-goers love it

This hotel’s prime Midtown location means you’re just minutes away from NYC’s top music venues — no late-night subway rides or pricey cabs needed.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends looking to stay near the action

• Fans needing a quiet, comfortable space post-show
• Budget-conscious concert-goers wanting 4-star comfort at good value

Food and Drink Options

The on-site restaurant serves a solid breakfast — a lifesaver after a late night. While there’s no 24/7 room service, you’re surrounded by walkable eateries open well into the night. From quick slices to upscale dining, Midtown has it all. The hotel bar is a great spot to grab a drink before heading out or winding down.

Nightlife Options

You’re minutes from NYC’s best nightlife — think rooftop bars, jazz lounges, and local haunts. While the hotel doesn’t offer on-site live music, its central location means you’re never far from a post-concert drink or dance. Prefer to stay in? The bar at RIU Plaza is a comfy, low-key option for a nightcap.

What People Say

Guests love the hotel’s unbeatable location, friendly staff, and modern, clean rooms. Many reviewers highlight how easy it is to walk to theaters and venues. The breakfast buffet gets high marks too, especially for late risers. Travelers also appreciate how quiet the rooms are for such a central spot.

Areas for Improvement

The elevators can be a bit slow during peak times, and there’s no gym or spa for post-concert recovery. Some guests wished for more room service options, especially late at night — but with so many local food spots nearby, it’s an easy workaround.

The Bottom Line

If you want to stay close to NYC’s biggest stages without sacrificing comfort or sleep, RIU Plaza Manhattan Times Square hits all the right notes.
