Located in New York, 100 metres from Restaurant Row, Riu Plaza New York Times Square offers WiFi. The hotel has a terrace and fitness centre, and guests can enjoy a meal at the restaurant The Theater Buffet.

My husband and I enjoyed a great stay at the Riu Plaza New Tork Times Squares. The structure of the hotel is large, attentive staff, super conveniently situated, next to Times Square. The room was very clean, and more importantly, the floor was not carpeted, which is very difficult to find in New York. Another highlight is the breakfast included in the hotel rate, a huge buffet with a great variety of food products. We will definitely be staying at the Riu on our next visit to NYC.

    An absolutely delicious boutique hotel in an Art Deco stylee in the centre of midtown -- very intelligently designed and appointed, with really good furnishings, linens, upholstery, shower quality. The bar is lovely, if slightly underused; the lobby is generous and comfy; we stayed in a post-pandemic restaurant hiatus -- when that is restored to life, the hotel will I am sure feel like it is operating all turbines.
