Midtown, New York

Virgin rating

The hotel

Broadway, Times Square, Radio City Hall - just some of the iconic New York attractions that are pretty much right at your doorstep when you stay at the brand new Tempo by Hilton New York Times Square. Housed in a 46-storey building you enter the lobby on the 11th floor - elevated from the hustle and bustle of the centre of Midtown, so you already feel as if you're in your own haven. The hotel itself is stylish and modern, offering both comfort and functionaltiy for solo travellers and couples alike. The outdoor terrace at Highball is a particular highlight. Look over the heart of the city whilst you enjoy innovative cocktails and delicious sharing plates, whatever time of day! There are bicycles available to explore futher out, but if you want to keep your feet on the ground - there's so much within walking distance, and you're never far from a subway station either.

Great stay for 6 night solo business Traveller! Location for tourists is a plus and for business not too bad to subway stations. Room is clean and had nice furnishings in shower. Breakfast '$10 credit' works well. Nice simple gym. Friendly staff. Nice bar, with standard inflated NYC prices. No issues. Already booked next two trips to stay here… Read more

My stay at the hotel was just amazing. This was my second stay at the hotel and it keeps getting better. The entire front desk staff made our stay just beautiful. Dino the door man went the extra mile. He was an ambassador and more. I'm definitely coming back

A lovely modern hotel which is fairly new. The rooms were very clean and contemporary with plenty of USB/USBC and a wireless charging point. The bathroom was a decent size, very clean with a powerful shower. There is a bar where you can purchase food and drinks and you can grab a view of Times Square itself from the reception area.

We decided to go for a last minute break to New York to celebrate my birthday and our anniversary from the 12th - 16th September. As we were using a substantial amount of flying club points to pay for the trip, we booked the hotel through Virgin Atlantic Holidays and Tempo by Hilton Times Square was the first (and most reasonably priced) option that was given on their site. I must confess I'd never heard of the Tempo brand before, but I trusted the Hilton name. I have to say I was VERY impressed. The hotel couldn't be more perfectly located, it's literally just off Times Square (by the Tkts booth and the famous red racked seating) and you really feel the buzz of being right in the heart of it all. This does mean there is a constant city noise in your room - but don't stay in the heart of Times Square if you don't want a bit of noise/atmosphere! The hotel itself is very modern, minimalistic, spotlessly clean and 'on trend' - very Instagram'able if that's your bag! Our room wasn't the largest, but again, do you come to NYC to spend all of your time in the hotel room!? The TV was big, the electric window blinds are a nice touch, and having full controls of the lights and blinds right next to each side of the bed is really useful. There is a resort fee of $35 per room per night to pay to the hotel on top of what you've paid to your travel agent. We were aware of this, but a poor couple checking in just as we were checking out didn't - it's not a nice surprise if that's an extra $200+ to the cost of your trip that you haven't budgeted for. You do get some benefits in return for the resort fee (premium WiFi access, daily $10 food and beverage credit for use in selected hotel outlets, City Bike rental for two, daily $25 parking credit) - but we didn't use any of these benefits other than the WiFi. The only negative I have is around Breakfast. Our booking through Virgin Atlantic Holidays said that it included Breakfast for 2 each day. What this turned into in reality was a daily $50 credit in the one in-house restaurant. As Breakfast is a 'per item' menu situation, and not a buffet, and the restaurant isn't the cheapest it's fair to say, you actually can't get a decent Breakfast for 2 people for $50. And again because it's a served Breakfast you have to add tips on top of what you spend. This is something I'll be picking up with Virgin Atlantic Holidays as I think this is misleading. But that being said, again, you are in the middle of NYC, so there are plenty of other (and cheaper) Breakfast options to be had. All in all I would definitely recommend this hotel and would definitely stay again. Read less
