Kimpton Theta New York - Times Square by IHG

Converted into a Kimpton property on 8th Avenue between 48th and 49th Streets, the Theta positions guests half a block from the western edge of Times Square without placing them inside the full neon barrage of Broadway's pedestrian plazas.

Rooms carry city views on upper floors, flat-screen TVs with streaming, and private bathrooms. The on-site restaurant and bar handle both early breakfasts and late-night returns from nearby theater curtains — Hell's Kitchen's independent dining scene begins one block north on 9th Avenue.

Bicycle rental at the front desk opens a practical route down the Hudson River Greenway to Chelsea and the High Line. Check-out extends to midnight, a rare grace note for red-eye departure guests.
