Crowne Plaza Times Square 

Where the front door literally opens onto Times Square

On the face of it this is not an especially exciting hotel, but boasting an esteemed Broadway address as it does, you cannot be any more central in New York than here.

If you’re in town to catch a Broadway show or two, you can’t get a more convenient location than the Crowne Plaza Times Square. Towering over Broadway, it commands one of the most sought-after addresses in the city. Often considered the epicentre of New York, emblematic yellow cabs crawl, camera-toting tourists amble, and enormous advertising screens shroud the skyscrapers. With 795 guestrooms, the Crowne Plaza Times Square is a hotel of mega proportions and a slick operation of good hospitality. In the evening, when the Broadway lights are at their brightest, head to the Broadway 49 Bar and Lounge for cocktails. It won’t be long before the city tempts you to head back out to join the party…
