Where the hotel sits and what that means for a honeymoon
Hyatt Place New York City/Times Square is at 350 West 39th Street in Midtown West (Times Square South/Hell’s Kitchen area). The location puts you within easy walking distance of Times Square, Broadway theaters, Hudson Yards and Madison Square Garden.

- Hudson Yards / The Edge: just over half a mile, walkable
- Madison Square Garden and Penn Station: around a 6–10 minute walk

Booking tips and small upgrades that help a honeymoon feel special
Ask for a City View or High Floor room when booking if a better skyline or quieter room is important — the hotel lists several 'High Floor' room options. If you want adjoining rooms (for staging gifts or extra luggage), the property offers connecting rooms.
You can use The Placery for a relaxed evening drink; consider planning a nearby rooftop bar outing for sunset photos since this hotel does not have a rooftop bar. For arrivals, the Market can cover late-night snacks and the 24/7 coffee bar helps with early mornings.
- Request 'High Floor' or 'City View' in the reservation for better views and less street noise
- Consider the Room, with Sofa bed (Specialty) if you want extra seating/sleeping flexibility
- Reserve connecting rooms in advance if you need adjoining access
- Use The Market for late-night snacks and The Placery for a simple celebratory drink
| Upgrade or request | Why it helps |
|---|---|
| High Floor / City View | Better skyline view; often quieter from street noise |
| Room, with Sofa bed (Specialty) | Extra seating and sleeping option without changing room category |
| Connecting rooms | Space for gifts, wardrobe or if family joins for part of the stay |
