Editorial take
Who should book Moxy NYC Times Square?
If this is your first New York trip, shortlist Moxy NYC Times Square for a practical reason: Friends, short breaks, budget-conscious central stays. 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 quiet luxury, large rooms or a traditional hotel atmosphere. 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.

What it is known for
- The 612 rooms were designed by Yabu Pushelberg, with the food and drink spaces by the Rockwell Group and the programme run by TAO Group.
- Magic Hour, on the 18th floor, bills itself as the largest all-season indoor-outdoor hotel rooftop in New York, at around 10,000 square feet.
- The rooftop has its own street entrance, reached through a deliberately dark tunnel lit by marquee bulbs rather than through the hotel lobby.
New York moments
- The hotel is known more for social spaces and nightlife than a verified historic guest list.
