The Westin New York at Times Square

Where Wellness Meets the City That Never Sleeps A Reimagined Sanctuary in the Heart of Manhattan’s Energy

In a city defined by rhythm, light, and endless motion, The Westin New York at Times Square stands as a sanctuary of calm — a rare retreat that balances New York’s electric pulse with a spirit of wellness and renewal. Rising gracefully at the crossroads of Broadway and 43rd Street, this iconic property embodies the art of living well amid the city that never stops moving.

Here, soaring architecture meets restorative design. The Westin’s sleek glass façade reflects the movement of Manhattan, while inside, a world of serenity awaits — one designed to nourish the mind, body, and soul. For travelers who seek both excitement and equilibrium, it’s an urban oasis that offers the best of both worlds.

A Modern Icon Reimagined

Since its debut, The Westin New York at Times Square has been more than a hotel — it has been a statement of modern hospitality and purposeful design. Following a thoughtful refresh of its guestrooms, suites, and public spaces, the property has reemerged as a destination that reflects Westin’s global “For a Better You” philosophy.

Stepping through the lobby doors feels like entering an entirely different tempo. The pace of the city gives way to an atmosphere of understated luxury — neutral tones, soft lighting, and organic textures create an environment that feels both restorative and inspiring. Artistic nods to New York’s skyline appear throughout the hotel, reminding guests that they are still in the beating heart of Manhattan, even as they breathe a little deeper.

The redesign is intentionally sensory — sight, sound, and touch work together to encourage mindfulness. The hum of the city fades behind soundproofed walls; the textures of wood, stone, and glass bring nature indoors. It’s urban sophistication with a soul.

Sleep Well, Live Well

Guestrooms at The Westin New York at Times Square redefine what it means to rest in the city that never sleeps. Each room is anchored by the iconic Heavenly® Bed, a sleep experience so renowned it’s become synonymous with the brand itself. Wrapped in crisp linens and cloud-like pillows, it promises deep, restorative rest after a day spent navigating Manhattan’s boundless energy.

Expansive floor-to-ceiling windows frame the city skyline, giving each room its own cinematic view — from the dazzling lights of Times Square to the distant shimmer of the Hudson River. The bathrooms, meanwhile, continue the sanctuary theme, with Heavenly® Bath amenities, rainfall showers, and spa-inspired details that turn daily routines into moments of relaxation.

Technology complements the comfort — with smart televisions, ergonomic workspaces, high-speed Wi-Fi, and Nespresso machines, each room supports both productivity and peace of mind.

For those seeking an even more elevated stay, the Skyline View Rooms and Corner Suites offer breathtaking panoramas of the city — the perfect vantage point for watching the sunrise over Manhattan or the neon glow that defines its nights.

A Taste of the City

In a city that celebrates culinary innovation, The Westin New York at Times Square captures the essence of New York dining with sophistication and soul. Foundry Kitchen & Bar, the hotel’s signature restaurant, blends modern design with an inviting energy that feels quintessentially Manhattan.

By day, Foundry offers an energizing breakfast — from avocado toast and smoothie bowls to fresh juices and locally roasted coffee — perfect for travelers preparing for a day of exploration or meetings. By night, the restaurant transforms into a lively lounge, where global flavors meet local inspiration. Guests can enjoy inventive small plates, artisanal cocktails, and an atmosphere that buzzes with cosmopolitan charm.

The Grab & Go Market, meanwhile, caters to the traveler on the move — offering gourmet pastries, organic snacks, and espresso-based drinks for those rushing to a Broadway matinee or early morning meeting.

Wellness in the Heart of It All

At the core of Westin’s philosophy is well-being — a belief that travel should enhance, not exhaust. The hotel’s WestinWORKOUT® Fitness Studio embraces that mission fully. Bright, airy, and filled with state-of-the-art cardio and strength equipment, it’s a space that encourages motion and mindfulness.

Guests can also take advantage of the RunWESTIN™ program, which offers curated running maps designed to guide joggers through the city’s most scenic routes — from the peaceful greenery of Bryant Park to the waterfront views of Hudson River Park.

Back at the hotel, Westin’s wellness extends beyond fitness. Guests can unwind with an in-room Heavenly® Spa Bath experience or explore the Sleep Well Menu, featuring herbal teas, light bedtime snacks, and superfoods crafted to promote rest and relaxation.

This holistic approach — blending comfort, nourishment, and rejuvenation — transforms a stay into something more meaningful: a wellness journey set against the backdrop of one of the world’s most exhilarating cities.

The City Beyond the Doorstep

Few hotels can claim a location as dynamic as The Westin New York at Times Square. Step outside, and the world’s most iconic neighborhood awaits. Within minutes, guests can walk to the Broadway Theatre District, Fifth Avenue’s luxury boutiques, Bryant Park, or Hudson Yards.

Art lovers can immerse themselves in the nearby Museum of Modern Art, or explore The Museum of Broadway — a celebration of the city’s theatrical heritage. And for those seeking authentic New York flavor, Hell’s Kitchen’s vibrant dining scene lies just blocks away.

Yet, amid the city’s boundless stimulation, The Westin remains a retreat — a place where guests can return, exhale, and reset before stepping out again into the rhythm of New York life.

A Place to Recharge and Reconnect

The Westin New York at Times Square is more than a place to stay — it’s a philosophy embodied in architecture, service, and experience. It’s where design inspires calm, cuisine fuels creativity, and wellness becomes a daily ritual.

Whether guests are visiting for business, leisure, or simply the thrill of being in the center of it all, The Westin offers something increasingly rare: balance. In a city that thrives on momentum, it reminds us that slowing down can be its own form of luxury.

Here, amid the neon and the noise, well-being is not an escape — it’s a way of life.

According to Daniels, the conversations happening in popular culture about black males leave them invisible in discussions about themselves. The portraits of black men Daniels creates are large in an effort to symbolically assert black male presence into those conversations. His work has been shown around the world through Almine Rech and Richard Beavers Gallery. Xavier lives and works in Atlanta, Georgia.
