The Knickerbocker Hotel

The Knickerbocker is a 5-star hotel in a historic red-brick building at 42nd Street and Broadway, with the address 6 Times Square, about three hundred metres from the centre of the square. Outside it shows early twentieth-century arched windows and stone mouldings; inside it is modern and pared back, with a veined-stone lobby, grey and beige rooms, soft cove lighting and long sofas. Rooms provide bathrobes, slippers and a laptop safe, and higher categories add a sitting area and a curved headboard. Guests have a 24-hour front desk, room service, family rooms, a terrace, a fitness room and children’s facilities, and pets are welcome. Right for couples and travellers who want to be at the very heart of Manhattan yet come back to a private, refined room after a day out.
