Favorite hotels in theater district

Strongly considering a quick trip to NYC next weekend. We would see Wicked the first day and then see a matinee the next afternoon and then run back to the airport. I would like to stay fairly close to the second theater so that we may walk back to the hotel to pick up our bags and then head off to the airport.


One possibility is seeing Chicago on 49th at the Ambassador. I was thinking about staying at The Pearl, The Time, The M Social, The Michaelangelo or the Hilton Garden Inn on 8th Avenue.


The other possibility is seeing Company on 45th at the Bernard B. Jacobs. In addition to the previous places, I was also thinking about staying at the Room Mate Grace or the InterContinental New York Times Square.

Any thoughts on these places? Are there others you would suggest?

Actually, friends of ours stayed at the IC Times Square last weekend Thurs-Sun and said it was a super great deal -clean, modern room, quiet and great location to everything they wanted to do and of course BWAY. They asked for a high floor with views and they ended up on a high floor with amazing views without any additional charge. King Bed and included breakfast for just around $200 Member rate.

Friends stayed at the new Margaritaville hotel in times sq over the holiday weekend and enjoyed it.
for me, I’d go on hoteltonight app and just pick whichever is cheapest. Back in 2016 while waiting in Hamilton cancellation line that’s how we got good rates at the Edison.

I stayed at The Michelangelo in December and had a great experience. Very convenient location, large rooms (particularly by NYC standards), and great customer service. No restaurant was operating at the hotel, the minibar was locked, and hotel service had to be requested, but it’s like that at a lot of places right now. I was supposed to stay there again next weekend. I had booked a very cheap rate a while back using their AAA discount on their website, but decided to cancel my trip. I’m rebooking for May and will likely stay there then.

My favorite has always been the Edison Hotel. Right in the middle of the theater district with entrances on both W 47th St (right across the street from the Barrymore Theatre) and W 46th St (right across from the "hallway" that goes underneath the Mariott Marquis Hotel [giving quick access to W. 45th St and its theaters and Shubert Alley] and diagonally across from the Richard Rodgers Theatre. Beautiful Art Deco design and prices aren't bad this time of year.

Great to know. I’ve looked at it and been intrigued, but was apprehensive because of some mixed reviews.

The Civilian is great and walking distance to most shows.

The Row is right around the corner from Company. They're not the fanciest, but they do the job. Try discount code ESEP1 for a good rate.

I always stay at the Riu Plaza Times Square on W. 46th @ 8th. Incredibly convenient location, small but comfortable rooms and a killer breakfast to boot.

Have you stayed at the M Social?

I wish I could say the Row because its location can't be beat but every time I tried the Row, I had to stand in a hour long line to check in, another endless line to check my bag, and another endless line to get my bag when it was time to check out. And the elevators could seriously take 15-20 minutes to get out of the building. Not cool when you're trying to catch a show.

I prefer Hilton Garden Inn on 8th/48 or The Westin on 8th and 43rd. Both are comfortable and centrally located.

Exactly. Nobody knows how to use it and everybody stands blocking the elevators so you can't get to yours by the time the door closes. It's maddening.
