Every hotel on this list sits within a 15-minute walk of Times Square and earns its place through a combination of proximity, guest satisfaction scores, and verified sustainability credentials. Ranking runs closest first, with star rating and eco credentials breaking ties. The selection covers a range of price points, from mid-range options to full-service luxury, so travelers with different budgets can find a workable match.
How we ranked these hotels near Times Square
Walking distance to Times Square (the intersection of Broadway and 7th Avenue at 46th Street) is the primary filter. Any hotel beyond 1 mile was excluded. Within that radius, star rating breaks ties between hotels at similar distances, and verified sustainability credentials break ties within the same star tier.
Guest satisfaction data draws on aggregated review scores across major booking platforms. A hotel with a strong location but consistently poor reviews did not make the cut. Price segment diversity was also a factor: at least one mid-range option appears on the list so the ranking is useful to more than one type of traveler.

Tips for booking near Times Square
- Book rooms on higher floors facing away from Broadway if street noise is a concern — 7th Avenue and 42nd Street generate significant overnight traffic.
- The N, Q, R, W, 1, 2, 3, 7, A, C, and E lines all stop within a 5-minute walk of Times Square, making subway access a minor factor for most of these hotels.
- Rates spike during New Year's Eve, the Thanksgiving parade, and major Broadway opening nights. Booking 60 or more days out typically secures better pricing.
- If you want a mid-range option with more space, Row NYC on 44th Street offers larger-than-average rooms for the price point and sits four blocks from the main square.
Sustainability at hotels near Times Square
Two hotels on this list carry verified third-party credentials. The Marriott Marquis holds LEED certification for its building operations, which covers energy use, water consumption, and waste management across the property. Ink48 participates in IHG's Green Engage program, a self-reported framework that tracks resource consumption and sets reduction targets by property.
The New York Edition operates under Marriott's Serve 360 program, which sets portfolio-wide targets for carbon reduction and responsible sourcing but does not carry independent third-party verification at the individual property level. Travelers who prioritize independently audited credentials should weight the Marriott Marquis above the others on this list.
