Located in one of the busiest intersections in the world, Tempo by Hilton New York Times Square is perched high above the city that never sleeps. With its modern design and central location, it’s the ideal spot for travelers looking to experience New York City’s pulsating energy. Whether you check in for business or leisure, Tempo by Hilton is the perfect accommodation to be at the center of it all—or, if you’re like us—to kick up your feet for some much needed R&R after a long day of exploring.
The Property
Tempo by Hilton New York Times Square is a sleek and contemporary hotel that blends both luxury and comfort with chic energy. The rooms feature high-tech elements including motorized blinds (the perfect way to soak in or scrub out Times Squares’ bright lights) and a Bluetooth-enabled bathroom mirror—a must when getting ready for the day or a night out on the town! Each guest room is also equipped with floor-to-ceiling windows that offer incredible views of both the skyline and city streets below… we couldn’t stop staring! The beds are comfortable (the key to a successful night’s rest) and lighting creates the perfect ambiance for some relaxation after navigating Manhattan’s busy streets.
Food & Drink
When it comes to bites and bevs, the hotel offers a few different dining options. Developed in collaboration with Bluestone Lane—an Australian-inspired premium coffee roaster, café, and lifestyle brand—you can fuel your Midtown morning with an assortment of hearty and healthy options for breakfast, including artisanal smoothies, coffee, pastries, and more. Paying homage to the city’s culinary heritage is the hotel’s signature restaurant and cocktail lounge, Highball. You can expect light bites plus a spirit-forward and free-spirited cocktail menu, which was developed in collaboration with renowned cocktail expert Derek Brown. Designed for both sober-curious guests and traditional cocktail enthusiasts alike, the menu features a lineup of no- and low-alcohol offerings which are paired with a spirited counterpart. Take in the city’s nightlife and energy from the newly expanded terrace or kick back, relax, and watch the sun set on the Empire State while socializing with friends.
Amenities
The hotel is home to 31 New Year’s Eve ball drop rooms featuring close-up views of the famous Times Square Ball via floor-to-ceiling windows. (We recommended booking a room with this view well in advance!). There’s also event spaces with modern technology for meetings, conferences, or private gatherings, plus a state-of-the-art fitness center and signature hydration stations. In addition, the hotel’s dedicated wellness room features a Peloton Bike and access to a library of digital content, a yoga mat, and resistance bands. And our favorite? Their literary partnership with the Book Club Bar, where you can pre-purchase a book before your stay to enjoy alongside of their literary-inspired cocktails.
