Hi,

Can anybody recommend a good hotel in NYC, fairly close to Times Square.
Looking for something a bit special, so willing to splash out a bit.....
 
Radio City Apartments - just off Times Square. Have stayed there many times and highly recommend.

just read the post again.....radio city apartments wouldnt be ideal for something a bit special.....! They still are very good though.

Regards
 
The Hilton Times Square is v .nice hotel and there is also the Crowne Plaza. When you say you want to splash out, what exactly are you looking for.
 
JMR, the fitzpatrick grand central is fabulous, ask for room 910. It's top floor (well there is a penthouse on the top floor) big and spacious, walk in shower, and the bed is sooooooooooo comfortable!!! Really nice and luxurious treat...breakfast not included, but that is common in NYC. I have stayed in the Residence Inn Marriott, which is lovely too, but Fitzpatrick is v.nice..enjoy
 
New York Helmsley Hotel - www.newyorkhelmsley.com

Stayed here in March and highly recommend it. It's opposite the Chrysler, 2min walk to Grand Central station, and 10 min stroll to Times Square. Lovely diner next door aswell.......
 
try the affinia dumont in midtown manhatten.
its rated #3 on tripadvisor at mo
stayed there few wks ago..fantastic location, 10 mins walk to Macys, Empire State, 2 mins walk to nearest subway, amazing views from top floors, most comfortable bed I've ever stayed in! Rooms are above average in size in NY hotel standards, they even include mini kitchen.
Would definately recommend this hotel, there were plenty of honeymooners there when we stayed.
 
Stayed in a great hotel in Feb called the Kitano - on 38th and Park Ave, really good location right around the corner from Grand Central Station. Within 5 mins walk of 5th Ave, Broadway, Times Square etc and all subways available from Grand Central. Accom was really spacious by NY standards and room was so quiet-no street noise at all at nightime.
Wasn't cheap but was worth it for location/size of room/standard etc.
I'd highly recommend it!!!

Just back from 5 nights at The Michelangelo on W51st- just around the corner from Times Square. Great location for all the sights really. Not the cheapest but the rooms are bigger than most NY hotel rooms and we sent them an email beforehand saying we were going for a special occasion and we were upgraded to a suite for free. It was fab!
 
Sorry to hijack the post, but I was wondering is mid/end November a good time to go to New York. I've only been in my new job since beginning June so can't really ask for Summer hols and was hoping to give my gf something else to look forward to.

Thanks

Anytime is a good time to go to New york:)
 
Soemthing a little nicer in Times Square? The Doubletree Suites would be my choice. There's a few posts with good reccommendations but not around times square. The Doubletree suites are right on the corner of 49th & Seventh - overlooking times square.

The Marriot Marquis is right in times square too and is quite nice - revolving restaurant if that's your thing.

The sheraton manhattan and the sheraton New York are only 2 mins away as well.

Listening to people at work it seems to be a very popular time. Suppose Christmas shopping and such. The Aer Lingus flights if booked early enough are usually reasonable at that time also.

If you're looking for cheap flights US Airways fly from Dublin to La Guardia with transfers via Philadelphia for around the €300 mark return all-inclusive.

I used to live there and always choose that time of year to go back and visit. It's a great trade off time between getting a decent air fare and the weather in NY being decent enough (i.e. not bloody freezing (Jan - early Mar) or melting hot( anywhere from Mid May on to Mid Sept).

When pricing your airfare look at flights to Newark Airport too (continentals usually out of Dublin & Shannon). It's nearly as close to Manhattan as JFK is and airfares are often a bit cheaper.
