The Knickerbocker Hotel is a historic gem right in the middle of New York City's Times Square. Opened back in 1906, this luxury spot has been a go-to for celebrities and big names over the years. It's famous for its stunning Beaux-Arts architecture. After being closed for a while and going through some changes, it made a grand comeback in 2015 with a major renovation. Now, it offers modern comforts while keeping its old-school charm.

Beautiful large room, very clean. Cake left for my husbands birthday was a lovely gesture. Excellent location. Staff very friendly and helpful. Rooms have blackout blinds. We were at the front of the hotel and it was very quiet in the evenings
Perfect stay for Broadway & Tony’s

This was our 2nd timid at the Knick for a week of Broadway. Steps away from it all and blissfully quiet room!
Don’t think twice !

Great location ! My room was super cozy and extremely clean ! They surprised me with birthday amenities - champagne and fruits were waiting for me in the room !!! Rooftop bar is a must visit - for great cocktails and fantastic views ! Staff is very accommodating and welcoming ! Kudos to Knickerbocker !
A welcome setting of peace and comfort within a very short walk of Times Square

The location so close to Broadway shows was a manageable walk even for us not perfectly healthy people (ages 63-73). The quiet peace of the inside of the building is so appreciated after the intense noise in Times Square. The rooms and the service is so wonderful. Totally worth the price.
Exceptional rooms, and services

I have been to this hotel twice and I had a great experience. I very much enjoyed the room in the service that I received by Gania during breakfast 🥞
She was exceptional and very attentive. The hotel is in a great location blocks from all the major attractions. I would recommend highly!!
