New IHG Hotel Opens Near Broadway

voco Times Square – Broadway — the brand’s largest hotel in the Americas — has opened with 419 guest rooms, suites, and bunk bed rooms, a feature we’ve seen quite often recently at new hotels.

The hotel draws inspiration from the Big Apple’s Prohibition-era speakeasies and features amenities such as a rooftop bar, a restaurant, a fitness center, and pet-friendly rooms.

The hotel is located in the heart of Times Square, near virtually every attraction in the neighborhood, including FAO Schwarz, Radio City Music Hall, Ellen’s Stardust Diner, the Times Square Plaza, and more. 

Getting around should be pretty easy, even if you aren’t familiar with public transit. You’re just a few minutes from the 49th Street station, which serves the N/R/W lines, and the 47-50 Sts-Rockefeller Center station, serving the B/D/F/M lines.
