A New York Minute in the Heart of Times Square

When you take a holiday to New York it is like stepping into a half-remembered dream. The Big Apple is filled with iconic images. From the beautiful Manhattan skyline made famous in the films of Woody Allen to the designer stores along Fifth Avenue, chances are even if you have not been to New York before you are familiar with its celebrated sights and sounds. The indelible images of New York have become eternally imprinted in our minds. Whether it is a line of yellow taxi cabs streaming by in the rain or a crowd of people lining up to get a world-famous hot dog or a thin crust pizza from a street vendor, the 5 boroughs of New York provide countless encounters with the strangely familiar. However, New York is more than the sum of its famous parts. It is a melting pot of ethnicities, enclaves, neighbourhoods and districts. It is a crowded place that seems to hum with energy and electricity. If you are planning a holiday to New York, then there is no better place to stay than at The Crowne Plaza Hotel. Located in the heart of Times Square, it is in the thick of the action. It is where you stay if you want to experience what the locals call a “New York Minute.” 

A New York minute is that lightning fast interval between when a traffic light turns green and the guy behind you beeps his horn. In other words, the phrase sums up the fast-paced New York lifestyle. It is also an apt description for the excitement around Times Square. Located at 1605 Broadway, The Crowne Plaza Hotel is all about location. Forget hailing one of those famous yellow taxi cabs, you are close enough to walk your evening show of Les Miserables. The Theatre District is around the corner, and the Eugene O’Neil, Ambassador and Barrymore theatres are only steps away. Whether you want to shop at New York’s famous boutiques, stroll in Central Park or visit the Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Crowne Plaza Hotel is in close proximity to all of the major sights in central Manhattan.

Is there anything better than a prime location? How about a view? Every room in The Crowne Plaza Hotel has either a view of the New York skyline, Times Square or the Hudson River. Brasserie 1605 and Broadway 49 Bar and Lounge are the two restaurants featured in the hotel. Brasserie overlooks Times Square and offers classic and contemporary American cuisine. Broadway 49 is a comfortable and upscale lounge. It is an ideal place to have a cocktail before heading over to your 9 p.m. showing of Phantom of the Opera.
