The Spotlight on Riu Plaza New York Times Square

Stay in the Heart of NYC's Music Scene

Modern and stylish, Riu Plaza New York Times Square puts you right in the middle of Midtown Manhattan’s electric energy. Just steps from Times Square and Broadway theaters, this upscale hotel offers sleek comfort with a cosmopolitan vibe. With a full-service restaurant, outdoor terrace, and gym, it's a solid base for exploring the city by day—and diving into its music scene by night.

Why Concert-goers love it

If you're catching a show in the Theater District or a nearby venue, you’ll love that you can walk to many performances in minutes. The hotel is just a few blocks from Times Square and surrounded by iconic theaters. After the encore, head back knowing your room is close—and quiet enough for a good night’s rest. The 24-hour front desk and luggage storage until 9 p.m. are perfect for guests arriving early or leaving late. Plus, easy access to subway lines and taxis makes late-night travel a breeze.

Who this Hotel is great for

Groups of friends on a music-fueled city break
Solo travelers checking off a dream concert
Couples making a weekend of Broadway and beats
Fans looking to unwind in a quieter, upscale space post-show
Budget-conscious travelers who appreciate value and location

Food and Drink Options

The on-site Theater Buffet serves a hearty breakfast—great after a night out. For grab-and-go bites, Capital Grab & Go offers coffee and quick snacks. While there’s no room service, Midtown’s endless food options are all around you, with restaurant row just steps away for post-show bites.

Nightlife Options

You're in one of the best nightlife areas in the world. Head out to nearby Broadway lounges, rooftop bars, or jazz clubs. While the hotel itself doesn’t offer live music, its location makes it easy to pop into a nearby bar or club before or after your show.

What People Say

Guests love the clean, modern rooms, central location, and generous breakfast buffet. The hotel’s proximity to Times Square and Broadway is frequently praised, making it ideal for theatergoers and concert fans alike. Reviewers also appreciate the friendly staff and smooth check-in process.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention the daily facilities fee as an unexpected extra, so be sure to factor that into your budget. Noise from the street can be a factor in some rooms—worth asking for a higher floor if you're a light sleeper.

The Bottom Line

For concert-goers wanting to be steps from the action with modern comfort and NYC energy, Riu Plaza New York Times Square hits all the right notes.

It was nice, not sure...

Liked: It is close to Times Square and Broadway theathers. Breakfast choice is good as for american standard, still not compared to european standard in 4star hotel. Nice view from upper levels. Reception supervisor was nice.
Disliked: We booked 3 nights in the hotel. On arrival they had no availability of the booked room. They gave us smaller room. Next day we moved to the room as booked. We received higher floor and late chrckout in return. Avoid rooms neighbouring elevators wall to wall, elevators are very loud.

I'm a native New Yorker...

Liked: The front desk staff was very professional and accommodating and room facilities were good.
Disliked: The breakfast buffet was not good at all. The prep for some of the offerings were unacceptale. For example, the fruit options were varied but the prep was questionable. The grapes still had stems attached, which caused me to question whether the grapes had even been washed, thus I chose not to eat the. The food, although heated, did not maintain the heat so the food was cold (waffles, pancakes, sausages and eggs, so I did not eat any of the food, but ordered food from Junior's restaurant which was conveniently close by.

Great stay in great location

Liked: The location and amenities were amazing. The sprawling free breakfast was out of this world. We enjoyed the gym.
Disliked: Dated and small rooms. Typical of Times Square though, so pleasant overall!
