Editorial take
Who should book InterContinental New York Times Square?
If this is your first New York trip, shortlist InterContinental New York Times Square for a practical reason: Broadway, business trips, reliable large-hotel standards. The name, star rating and lobby photos matter, but the real test is whether the location helps your days feel easier.
It is less compelling if you want boutique character or a quiet residential street. Before booking from the UK, compare the final price after taxes and property fees, check the exact room setup and make sure your airport arrival route is not needlessly awkward.

- There is a 2,700 square foot duplex penthouse, plus 14,000 square feet of event space including the Gotham Ballroom.
New York moments
- This is a modern business and leisure hotel, so its appeal is scale, service and location rather than New York folklore.
On screen
- Use it as a practical Theater District base rather than a film-location stay.
Review questions
What travellers keep asking.
Is West 44th Street a good base for theatres?
Yes. Most Broadway houses are within a ten-minute walk, and Restaurant Row on West 46th is close for pre-show dinner. The Eighth Avenue end is busier and less polished than the blocks further east.
Is this a good option for a family?
It can be, given the number of room types available, but check occupancy limits and bed setups carefully. New York rooms are smaller than UK families often expect.

Check these before you reserve.
Total price
Look beyond the nightly rate. Check taxes, destination fees, breakfast and cancellation.
Room layout
For New York, room size, bathroom privacy, bed type and storage can matter more than star rating.
Arrival route
Match the hotel to your airport, luggage and arrival time, especially after an overnight UK flight.
