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.

Small rooms, but great breakfast

Liked: The buffet breakfast was wonderful! Such a large variety of wonderful foods.
Disliked: Room was very small. We had a king bed and sofa bed, which when the sofa bed was set up, there was very little room to even walk in the room. Quite tight.

A mixed bag for me...

Liked: Location is fantastic; both jazz clubs we went to were within 2 blocks, and there are good restaurants galore nearby. The AC was effective, and our room got cold enough at night for good sleeping.
Disliked: Due to a recent neck surgery, I need a number of pillows to kind of "build" a comfortable sleeping position. I asked for 2-3 pillows. First person said sure, but nothing happened. Asked a second person cleaning outside, and said I needed at least 2 if not 3 pillows. A third person came with one, and when I asked for another, said that really wasn't possible. So, the stay turned out somewhat painful for me, as a $400/night hotel somehow couldn't scrounge me up two extra pillows.Also, there was no outlet on the right side of the bed - I had to run the cord for my cpap machine across the room, and luckily didn't wake up during the night needing the bathroom, as I certainly might have stumbled over a cord running at knee level from the far wall to the bed. I could find only one outlet anywhere near the bed, and it powered the fridge and light I used at night, so it wasn't like a clock or something I could just disconnect.
