Iroquois Hotel New York | Safe, Luxurious, Great Location ๐๏ธ
Stay at a top-rated hotel near Times Square with the spa & fitness
Why we love it
The setting
The Iroquois sits on West 44th Street in Midtown Manhattan, a short walk from Times Square and the Theatre District. The building is a 1923 landmark with a wood-panelled lobby and a calm feel that sets it apart from the noise outside. Step out of the door and you are among Broadway stages, restaurants and the subway lines that reach the rest of the city in minutes. It is a quieter address on a busy block, which suits travellers who want to be central without staying in the middle of the crowds.
What to expect
Rooms are dressed in warm tones with marble bathrooms and the kind of soundproofing that matters in Midtown. The booked rate is room only, so breakfast is not included, though a Grab&Go option is available at the hotel each morning. There is a fitness centre on site for guests who want to keep a routine while travelling. Service here leans towards the personal, with staff used to looking after returning guests and first-time visitors alike. Expect comfort over scale: this is a smaller hotel, not a sprawling tower.
Things to do nearby
The Algonquin Hotel is next door, barely 40 metres away, and the Belasco Theatre is about 140 metres on. The Diamond District sits around 200 metres from the entrance, handy for a browse or a special purchase. Bryant Park, Grand Central and Fifth Avenue shopping are all within an easy walk. For anything further afield, the subway at Times Square or Grand Central puts the Museum Mile, Lower Manhattan and Brooklyn within reach.
Best for
Couples and culture-minded travellers who want Broadway on the doorstep and a calmer base to come back to. Good for a first New York trip or a return visit built around theatre and dining.

A week, loosely planned
Suggestions, not orders. Tour ideas to mix and match for your trip.
Times Square and a show
Arrive and settle in, then walk the few minutes to Times Square to get your bearings. An early dinner nearby leaves time for a Broadway show in the evening.
Bryant Park and Fifth Avenue
Spend the morning at Bryant Park and the New York Public Library, both a short stroll away. Carry on to Fifth Avenue for shopping before heading back to rest ahead of dinner.
Downtown and the waterfront
Take the subway from Grand Central down to Lower Manhattan for the 9/11 Memorial and a walk along the waterfront. Return uptown in the late afternoon for a meal in the Theatre District.
Central Park and check-out
Use the last morning for Central Park or a final look around Midtown, then check out. The hotel can hold luggage if your flight is later in the day.
