From LaGuardia Airport (LGA)
LaGuardia is the closest commercial airport listed by the resort. You can take a taxi or rideshare directly to 560 7th Ave, or use public transit for a lower-cost option.
There is no hotel airport shuttle, so plan for taxi/rideshare or a combination of airport bus and subway.
- Taxi or rideshare: follow signs to ground transportation and request drop-off at 560 7th Ave (Times Square area).
- Public transit: many LaGuardia bus routes connect to subway lines — check current LGA bus-to-subway connections and MTA schedules before you travel.
- If you use public transit, aim to arrive at Times Square–42 St or Port Authority Bus Terminal stations for the shortest walk.
| Option | Notes |
|---|---|
| Taxi / Rideshare | Direct to hotel; no hotel shuttle is provided |
| Airport bus + subway | Buses connect to subway lines; transfer at a subway hub to Times Square–42 St |
| Multiple bus routes | Check LGA ground-transport maps for current routing |
From John F. Kennedy International (JFK)
JFK is farther than LaGuardia; you can take a taxi or rideshare direct to the hotel or use AirTrain plus subway for a mostly rail-based route into Midtown.
If you prefer transit, take the JFK AirTrain to the Howard Beach or Jamaica station and transfer to the subway (A, E or other lines) toward Manhattan, then transfer to lines serving Times Square–42 St or Port Authority.
- Taxi/rideshare: available at all terminals; request drop-off at 560 7th Ave.
- AirTrain + subway: use Howard Beach (A) or Jamaica (E, J, Z, LIRR) connections, then transfer to a line serving Times Square–42 St.
- Plan extra time for luggage and peak-hour travel when choosing subway vs. taxi.
| Route | Typical transfer points |
|---|---|
| AirTrain → Subway | AirTrain to Jamaica or Howard Beach → A or E into Manhattan → transfer to Times Square–42 St |
| Taxi / Rideshare | Direct to hotel; no hotel shuttle |
| Longer-distance options | LIRR from Jamaica to Penn Station then walk to the hotel |
From Newark Liberty International (EWR)
From Newark you can take taxi or rideshare, or use NJ Transit or Amtrak to Penn Station and then walk or transfer to a subway that serves Times Square–42 St.
There is no direct hotel shuttle—ground transport and rail are the primary alternatives.
- Taxi/rideshare: available curbside at EWR terminals; request drop-off at 560 7th Ave.
- Train option: AirTrain Newark to Newark Liberty station → NJ Transit/Amtrak to New York Penn Station → walk (~8 minutes) or take a subway one stop to Times Square–42 St.
- Check NJ Transit schedules for real-time departures before you travel.
| Option | Why choose it |
|---|---|
| NJ Transit/Amtrak to Penn Station | Rail avoids highway traffic; close walking distance to the hotel |
| Taxi / Rideshare | Most direct but subject to road conditions |
| Bus services | Seasonal or scheduled airport bus services may run to Port Authority |
Public transit from airports to Times Square
The hotel is immediately adjacent to Times Square–42 St and within walking distance of Port Authority and Penn Station. That makes the subway a practical option from each airport if you want to avoid road traffic.
When using subway connections, target arrivals at Times Square–42 St (served by many lines) or Port Authority-42 St; both are short walks to 560 7th Ave.
- Times Square–42 St serves the 1, 2, 3, 7, A, C, E, N, Q and R lines (confirm current service with MTA).
- Port Authority-42 St (A/C/E nearby) and Penn Station (1–2–3 and other connections) are also walkable.
- Subway fares and schedules change; consult the MTA before you travel and allow time for transfers with luggage.
| Target station | Why go there |
|---|---|
| Times Square–42 St | Direct access to many subway lines; shortest walk to hotel |
| Port Authority-42 St | Good for airport buses and some subway transfers |
| Penn Station | If arriving by NJ Transit or Amtrak; about an 8-minute walk |
Taxi, rideshare and practical arrival tips
Taxis and rideshares drop off near the hotel's 7th Avenue entrance. There is no complimentary airport shuttle from the resort, and street-level traffic in Midtown can be congested, especially during peak hours.
If you have heavy luggage or mobility needs, a taxi or rideshare may be easier than subway transfers. The hotel offers accessible rooms and facilities; if you need assistance, contact the front desk in advance.
- Taxis: follow airport signs to the taxi lines; drivers know Times Square and 7th Ave addresses.
- Rideshares: use the app pickup zones at each airport terminal; enter 560 7th Ave as your destination.
- Accessibility: the resort offers wheelchair-accessible rooms and public spaces—notify the hotel ahead of arrival if you need accessible arrival assistance.
