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.

One person one bed. Two? Get 2 beds so you have a place for your luggage and whatnot.

Liked: Clean and the breakfast buffet was great and was treated promptly and professionally.
Disliked: Nothing.

Location, location, location but other...

Liked: The location is everything.
Disliked: You can walk to Times Square and broadway theaters. Easy shopping and tons of options for food in varying price ranges. My issues were with cleanliness and response to problems. My shower was not clean with hair in shower area. Reported to staff which was easy however, it took cleaning over 3 hours to respond. I was back in the room after 3 hours. My key card kept getting deactivated. I was told after the third time that demagnetization happens if the card is near your cell phone. This was inconvenient i was on the 20 th floor and the elevator does not work without the key card kept getting otherwise, it was fine. I just expected more for what was paid for only 2 nights.

Overall, I had a wonderful...

Liked: The hotel's location is fantastic, with easy walking distance to Times Square and other key tourist attractions. I was also pleased with the abundance of nearby restaurants and shopping options. Despite the central location, I was pleasantly surprised by how quiet my room was.I found the facilities and the room itself to be very clean. The inclusion of a refrigerator in the room was appreciated. While the breakfast buffet was truly amazing with a wide variety of choices, the only minor suggestion I would have is the addition of a microwave in the room for heating up leftover food.The hotel staff were all very friendly and helpful. I especially appreciated the bellmen who assisted with our luggage during both check-in and check-out. The elevators were also impressively fast, although they did get a little crowded during peak breakfast hours, it wasn't a significant issue.
Disliked: Wish they had microwave.

Poor hotel, not worth the...

Liked: The location of the room
Disliked: When I booked the hotel the images were of a different room than what we were given, room was a lot smaller and due to the makeup of our family of 5 which includes step children and a child with a disability, the room was not big enough, we expressed our concerns with the hotel staff who didn’t want to know and passed the blame on to booking.com, we then contacted booking.com who also blamed the hotel so nothing was done, the hotel staff were very rude and it seemed that if you were Spanish or Spanish speaking you had top services. I’ll never stay at this hotel again.
