INTERCONTINENTAL NEW YORK TIMES SQUARE BY IHG
About the Castle Hotel
InterContinental New York Times Square - A Cinematic Sanctuary
Standing sentinel in the heart of Manhattan, the InterContinental New York Times Square has long served as a celebrated backdrop for cinematic dreams and grand narratives. Its reputation is etched not just in its prime location but in the countless screens it has graced, offering an experience that is both iconic and intimately New York. This hotel is more than a place to rest your head; it's an immersion into the city's captivating rhythm.
Location
Positioned at the nexus of Midtown, the InterContinental enjoys an unparalleled address, mere steps from the electrifying energy of Times Square and the theatrical grandeur of Broadway's major theaters. The hotel's proximity to institutions like the Museum of Modern Art and the sprawling green expanse of Central Park places guests at the epicenter of New York's cultural and recreational offerings. For those seeking elevated perspectives, the newly accessible Summit One Vanderbilt observation deck is within reach, promising vistas that redefine the city skyline. Personally, I find the easy access to the subway, just a five-minute walk away at Times Square-42nd Street, to be the true key to unlocking the city's boundless potential.
Style and Character
The InterContinental New York Times Square exudes a refined contemporary opulence, a character that has not only been recognized on-screen in productions like "The Wolf of Wall Street" and "Glee" but is palpable the moment you step inside. Its sleek interiors, characterized by sophisticated design, serve as a stylish urban oasis. The hotel's design sensibilities create an atmosphere of sophisticated calm, a welcome counterpoint to the city's constant hum, making it a distinguished presence among its peers.
Service and Facilities
The hallmark of the InterContinental is its commitment to impeccable service, a promise delivered by an experienced team focused on seamless execution. Their events team demonstrates a deep understanding of destination-based experiences, crafting personalized meetings and events with an insider's touch. For personal well-being, a state-of-the-art fitness centre offers 24-hour access to a comprehensive range of equipment, including Peloton bikes. The hotel's dedication to inclusivity is evident in their goal to make information and booking accessible to all guests, including those with disabilities, ensuring a welcoming environment for everyone.
Rooms
Accommodations at the InterContinental range from elegantly appointed Studio Suites, offering an urban oasis with expansive views, to the truly spectacular Duplex Penthouse. The Penthouse features two fireplaces and panoramic city views, providing a luxurious retreat. Standard rooms and suites offer a choice between shimmering sky views overlooking the Hudson River or impressive city vistas, many with large windows framing the dynamic New York skyline. Entry-level rooms are outfitted with essential comforts, while more expansive options include separate seating areas and well-appointed bathrooms. The newly renovated Double Accessible guest room thoughtfully includes two double beds, an oversized workstation, and a spacious, fully accessible bathroom, ensuring comfort for all.
Food and Drink
The Stinger Cocktail Bar & Kitchen, conceived by chef Todd English, stands as a sophisticated highlight, offering creative concoctions inspired by the city's renowned rooftop bars. Here, guests can cozy up to enjoy a scrumptious daily breakfast, an à la carte dinner menu, and an array of bar bites. The bar itself presents signature craft cocktails in three sizes, alongside punch bowls for sharing, and a curated selection of beers and wines. Beyond the usual American breakfast fare, the menu at The Stinger promises a more elevated experience, making it the ideal spot to unwind before or after a Broadway show, capturing the city's elegantly urban vibe in its intimate, light-filled private dining rooms.
Value for Money
While specific rates vary by season and room category, the InterContinental New York Times Square offers a compelling proposition, particularly for those seeking an immersive New York experience. The inclusion of premium amenities, exceptional service, and a location that puts the best of Manhattan within easy reach contributes significantly to its perceived value. The hotel caters to a discerning traveler who appreciates both the grand gestures of a luxury stay and the thoughtful details that make a visit memorable.
Accessibility
The InterContinental New York Times Square places a strong emphasis on accessibility, striving to ensure that all guests, regardless of ability, can comfortably access information and book their stay. The property features a newly renovated Double Accessible guest room, meticulously furnished with two double beds, an accessible bathroom, and thoughtful amenities designed for ease of use. This commitment extends to making the hotel a welcoming environment for individuals with hearing or vision loss, or any other disability.
Family-Friendly
While not explicitly detailing children's programs, the hotel's spacious room options, including suites, and its prime location in the heart of Midtown make it a practical choice for families exploring the city. The proximity to attractions like Madame Tussauds, easily accessible via provided car services for certain packages, and the general accessibility of family-friendly landmarks like Central Park and Bryant Park, offer ample opportunities for shared experiences. The thoughtful inclusion of amenities like tea and coffee facilities in rooms further adds to the convenience for traveling families.
