Moxy NYC Times Square opened in late 2017 as Marriott's flagship North American Moxy property — the brand's design-forward mid-range concept aimed at travelers who want style and location at a lower price point than full luxury hotels. The hotel is two blocks south of Times Square (at 36th and Seventh), giving Times Square proximity without the immediate-Square premium pricing.
The 612 rooms are deliberately compact — most are 150-200 square feet — and the brand makes that an explicit design feature. Pull-down desks, wall-mounted bedside surfaces, ergonomic storage, and a "less is more" furniture philosophy. The design works if you accept that you're trading room size for location and price; for travelers who want their hotel to be a sleeping pod between Times Square activities, it's an excellent trade.
The public spaces are where Moxy compensates for room size. The hotel has THREE bars: Bar Moxy in the lobby (casual, all-day, with a small-plates menu), the Cafe Moxy (coffee + bistro), and Magic Hour Rooftop Bar & Lounge — a 70th-floor open-air rooftop with NYC's largest hotel rooftop, mini-golf installations, skyline views, and a serious cocktail program. Magic Hour is open to non-guests via reservation and is one of the city's most-recommended rooftop bars.
Rooms typically $300-500/night.
