The hype
The location is unbeatable for Broadway fans and the views are insane, but the crowds are overwhelming.
New York Marriott Marquis
$350-600/ notte
Prenota se You want to be the main character in a movie about New York City and don't mind the chaos that comes with it.
Perché piace così tanto
- The iconic glass elevators that shoot you up 48 stories through a massive atrium
- Floor-to-ceiling windows in 'Times Square View' rooms that make you feel like you're floating over Broadway
- The newly reopened 'The View' revolving restaurant, now run by Danny Meyer's team
In sintesi: It is a massive, frantic, sensory-overload machine that executes 'tourist luxury' with military precision, but locals wouldn't be caught dead within three blocks of it.
Recensito da @myendlessbucketlist: I stayed right in the middle of the chaos and loved it. Waking up to the Times Square billboards right outside my window was a core memory. The glass elevators are a wild ride, too. If you want that 'center of the universe' feeling, this is it.
Cosa hanno detto gli ospiti che hanno soggiornato qui
Reality check
You are paying for the address and the view; the rooms are standard Marriott quality, just with better windows.
- You are seeing a Broadway show (the Marquis Theatre is literally inside the hotel)
- You are traveling with teenagers who want to be in the center of the action
- You thrive on high energy and don't mind navigating through thousands of tourists
Pulizia e manutenzione
8.2
- Housekeeping: Daily service is standard and generally reliable, though missed spots under beds are occasionally reported.
- Bathroom hygiene: Bathrooms are typically sparkling, but watch for peeling paint on ceilings in older un-renovated corners.
- Maintenance: The building is a beast to maintain; elevators break down occasionally, and wear-and-tear in hallways is visible due to high traffic.
- Linens & towels: Crisp, white, standard Marriott quality. No recent bed bug outbreaks confirmed in 2024/2025.
- Odors & scents: Lobby smells like Marriott's signature 'Attune' scent; hallways can sometimes smell like food/cleaning products.

Prima di prenotare
Buono a sapersi
- The $40 daily F&B credit DOES NOT work at Starbucks or the gift shop; use it at the Broadway Lounge or Revel & Rye.
- Valet parking is astronomical (~$110/night); use SpotHero to book a garage on W 46th St for half the price.
- Check-in is on the 8th floor, not the ground floor.
Cosa portare
- Earplugs (just in case you get a connector room)
- Portable charger (your phone will die from taking photos of the view)
- Patience (for the elevators)
Genio delle camere
Migliori scelte
- Premier Corner King (ends in roughly xx01 or xx28) for dual-aspect views and less hallway noise
- Times Square View rooms on floors 30+ for the 'floating' sensation
Camere da evitare
- Low-floor rooms near the atrium (noise travels up)
- Standard rooms without a view (you're paying a premium for a view of a brick wall)
Genio delle richieste camera – copia e incolla
“I would appreciate a 'Premier Corner King' or a room as far from the elevator bank as possible to minimize hallway traffic. High floor (30+) preferred for the view.”
FAQ e consigli nascosti
Tutto ciò che vuoi davvero sapere prima di prenotare.
Is the revolving restaurant open?
Yes! 'The View' reopened in Feb 2025 under Danny Meyer's Union Square Hospitality Group. It rotates again and is now a supper club concept.
Does the hotel have a pool?
No. There is no pool, but there is a large 24-hour fitness center on the 23rd floor with Peloton bikes and views.
Is breakfast included?
Generally no, unless you have a specific package or Marriott Platinum+ status (access to M Club lounge).
How bad are the elevators?
They are a spectacle but can be slow. The 'Miconic 10' smart system groups people by floor, but expect waits of 5-10 mins during rush hours.
Can I see the ball drop from my room?
Only from specific 'Ball Drop View' rooms which cost thousands of dollars and are booked years in advance. Regular 'Times Square View' rooms might not have the angle.
Is it safe?
Yes, extremely. It's one of the most patrolled areas in the world, though pickpockets in the square outside are a real threat.
Suggerimenti degli Insider
- ✨
The 8th-floor 'Perch' outdoor terrace is a hidden spot to grab a drink without the street-level insanity.
- ✨
Use the 'Destination Fee' credit for a nightcap at Revel & Rye; it resets daily and doesn't roll over.
- ✨
There is a 'secret' exit on the 45th Street side that is often less crowded than the main Broadway revolving doors.
5 cose da sapere prima di partire
💡The 'Family Connector' rooms are a rare find in NYC: legitimate multi-room suites that don't cost $5k/night.
💡The gym on the 23rd floor has better views than most observation decks in the city.
💡The M Club Lounge is the largest in North America—if you have status, it's a massive money-saver for breakfast.
💡You can technically ride the glass elevators for fun without being a guest if you act confident enough (though security is tighter now).
💡The 'resort fee' actually includes tickets to the Museum of Broadway, which is worth doing.
