The Moxy Times Square is a playful, Instagram-ready hotel with Marriott-brand quality at a more approachable price point. The hotel features multiple bars and restaurants including Legasea seafood restaurant and Magic Hour rooftop bar with amusement park flair.
The Moxy NYC Times Square stands on Seventh Avenue between 36th and 37th Streets at the southern edge of Times Square, occupying a tower with 612 rooms and one of Midtown's most ambitious multi-venue food and beverage programs. The Moxy brand, part of Marriott International, targets design-conscious travelers with a playful aesthetic, compact but well-considered rooms, and a social programming model that treats the lobby and bars as destinations in their own right rather than hotel amenities.
Rooms at the Moxy Times Square are compact but confidently designed. Bunk bed configurations allow the hotel to offer lower-cost options for solo travelers and friends traveling together, while standard queen rooms optimize the floor plan for comfortable sleeping. Custom furnishings, curated design details, smart TV, climate control, and complimentary high-speed wifi are standard in all room types.
The hotel's food and beverage program is ambitious by any standard. Legasea, a seafood restaurant on the second floor, draws both hotel guests and Midtown regulars for a raw bar and sustainable fish program. The Library bar on the lobby level offers a bookshelf-lined cocktail lounge setting. Magic Hour, the rooftop bar and lounge on the 35th floor, is the hotel's flagship destination — a whimsical space with mini golf, outdoor topiary, and cocktails overlooking the Times Square lights. Seasonal events and tiki bar programming make Magic Hour a consistent weekend destination for New Yorkers and visitors alike.
The hotel's address puts the main Broadway theater district, Madison Square Garden, Penn Station, and the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center within walking distance. The 34th Street–Penn Station and Times Square subway hubs connect guests throughout the city and to commuter rail lines for the tristate area.
