Earlier this month work brought me to NYC and due to booking last minute, I found myself staying at the Renaissance New York Hotel Times Square. Normally, I would shun such a hectic location, but it was not possible on this visit.
Despite my initial reservations about staying in Times Square, the hotel won me over by exceeding my expectations in three ways. First, located just blocks from Hell’s Kitchen was a bonus as was it’s proximity to 46th Street which has many dining options between 8th and 10th Avenue. Second, the hotel bar provides one of the best views of Times Square and makes for a great place to grab a nightcap if you’re into that sort of thing. Lastly, the rooms are plush, comfortable and a decent size.
Although I’m still not a fan of staying in Times Square, for tourists this may be the best address in town. Its proximity to great restaurants, the hotel’s bar and the well appointed rooms make this worth considering.
