citizenM New York Times Square — hero
Glazed floor-to-ceiling against the Midtown sky, each of the 230 rooms at citizenM New York Times Square holds the neon two blocks off in full view. The hotel sits at 218 West 50th Street, between Broadway and Eighth Avenue, a short walk from the Times Square billboards and 42nd Street. Opened in 2014, it was the brand's first hotel in America.

Every room holds an XL king bed, a rain shower, and mood lighting set from a bedside tablet in place of switches on the wall. Nothing else competes for space. You lie back, adjust the light from the tablet at the bedside, and let the window carry the rest, midtown lit up beyond the glass.

Guests check themselves in at kiosks set into a lobby built as one continuous lounge, with no front desk to queue at. The design is deliberate and spare: little kept in the room, everything held in common downstairs, from the seating to the light itself, and the hotel keeps its private space plain while its shared space carries the detail.
