Best Marriott Hotels in New York City

For some previous visitors it's this Marriott's high-caliber service that wins them over, especially considering the property's large size. But for others it's the enviable location, centered right in the heart of midtown's Times Square and Theater District. After a day spent boutique-strolling and theater-hopping, you can kick back in your digs, furnished with signature Marriott amenities, such as custom duvets, flat-screen TVs and coffee makers. And when hunger strikes, you won't even need to step outside; the Marquis offers the Crossroads American Kitchen & Bar, The View Restaurant, Broadway Lounge and even a Starbucks. Another bonus: Thanks to Marriott's rewards program, you may accrue and redeem benefits by choosing to stay here.

Some recent visitors said this Midtown East Marriott, just about a mile walk from Central Park, gets the proverbial job done – it's a pleasant place to hang your hat, but it doesn't offer anything too exciting. Still, most report a satisfactory stay overall thanks to the hotel's versatile amenities, including a 24-hour fitness center and the lively 525LEX Restaurant & Lounge. Previous visitors also praise the clean, spacious accommodations, which feature flat-screen TVs, iPod docking stations, Thann toiletries and city views. One common complaint among recent travelers, though, was that the elevators were incredibly slow. Guests participating in Marriott's rewards program can earn and use additional privileges for choosing to stay here. Plus, the property is just as gorgeous on the outside with its neo-Romanesque style and stone gargoyles. And here's a a fun fact: Georgia O'Keeffe and her husband actually lived here in the 1920s back when it was called the Shelton Hotel.

Recent visitors praise this Marriott outpost for its Financial District location, removed from midtown's chaos. However, others see this as a shortcoming, since taxi rides to and from midtown Manhattan can add up quickly. Still, this Marriott is a particular favorite among business travelers, thanks to its full-service business center, ample meeting space and 24-hour fitness center. Plus, this hotel boasts the casual Bill's Bar & Burger, which is known for its loaded burgers, fries and shakes. And as far as bedding down goes, you'll have access to clean, quiet accommodations, complete with crisp 300-thread-count linens, flat-screen TVs and minifridges. If you participate in the Marriott Rewards program, you can also rest assured that you may earn and redeem points by choosing to stay here.

This stylish boutique hotel appeals to travelers looking for easy access to Times Square, the Theater District and Bryant Park. All 177 guest rooms and suites are simplistically decorated, with neutral tones, wood furnishings, retro Condé Nast art pieces and opulent bathroom fixtures. Though, some guests noted the room and closet were both on the smaller side. Accommodations also feature modern accouterments, such as iPod docking stations, Illy espresso machines and flat-screen TVs. Should you wish to depart from your digs, you won't want to miss indulging in tasty fare at Strand Bistro or marveling at the sweeping views of the Empire State Building from the Top of the Strand all-season rooftop bar. Still, recent guests say the courteous staff and trendy atmosphere are the Strand's best features.
