Iroquois New York Times Square

Forty-four West Street holds a five-star footprint just steps from Fifth Avenue, and the Iroquois New York occupies a limestone-clad 1899 building on West 44th between Fifth and Sixth — a block once home to James Dean, now a quiet counterpoint to Times Square's crowds three minutes east.

Rooms keep French-inspired interiors with marble baths; the Lantern's Keep bar operates as an unmarked speakeasy off the lobby. Bryant Park and the New York Public Library sit a five-minute walk south, making this a practical base for travellers wanting Midtown access without the Square's congestion.
