This blog invites you to discover this new hotel landmark with practical tips for planning your stay.

Exceptional location of the Hyatt Regency Times Square

The Hyatt Regency Times Square, located at 1605 Broadway between 48th and 49th Streets, is right in the heart of Times Square, in the Theater District of Midtown Manhattan. The hotel offers convenient access to public transportation, with the 49th St. and 50th St. subway stations (Broadway line) just steps away. Major attractions—Rockefeller Center, theaters, shops—are within a 5–10 minute walk, ideal for exploring at your leisure.

Unique design and features of the Hyatt Regency Times Square

The Hyatt Regency Times Square has undergone a spectacular transformation, the result of a multi-million dollar renovation.

• The two-level lobby, designed by Lucid, Gensler and Hyatt, features warm wood finishes, stone columns, bronze accents, and residential-style furnishings. Colorful translucent discs inspired by theater marquees hang from the ceiling, creating an immersive atmosphere.
• Among the 795 guest rooms, some offer breathtaking views of the city. Each room features tufted headboards, marble nightstands, well-designed workspaces, blackout curtains, reading lamps, and charging ports. A 90 m² (969 sq ft) penthouse suite, which can be combined with two additional bedrooms, stretches from Times Square to the Hudson River.
• Unique bonus: a MAMMA MIA!-themed room, designed in partnership with the musical returning to Broadway in August 2025, offers an immersive experience for theater lovers.

Who is this new hotel ideal for?

Hyatt emphasizes a seamless experience for both business and leisure travelers. A large multifunctional lobby, one of Manhattan’s largest fitness centers, and the Cue 48 restaurant/lounge (opening soon) combine work, relaxation, and socializing. The vast retail space at the base (≈ 290,000 sq ft) offers attractive opportunities for groups or events.

Practical information: transportation, rates, best times to visit

• Transportation: subway nearby (49th St., 50th St.), buses, taxis, etc. Easy access to Midtown, Central Park, and all the major neighborhoods.
• Rates: from around $349++/night for a standard room. Penthouse suites and themed rooms are available depending on availability, often on request.
