The redeveloped Moxy Times Square is a dynamic experience – fun, edgy, playful and all at a killer price (at least for New York City standards).

Located bang in the middle of Manhattan, there are 612 rooms with walk-in rain showers, fast wi-fi and HDTVs allowing Netflix and YouTube streaming.

It features one-on-one check-in kiosks, a complimentary welcome cocktail at the Moxy Bar and fitness classes on the rooftop with views of the Empire State Building, so it’s anything but ordinary. Rooms cost from $139pn.
