Honeymoon stays and romantic ideas in Midtown
Margaritaville Resort Times Square can work well for a honeymoon or romantic getaway: choose a Suite, with Sofa bed, for extra living space and skyline views, or a Premium Room, 1 King Bed for a higher-floor city view. Plan a sunset visit to the heated rooftop pool or a rooftop cocktail at 5 o'Clock Somewhere Bar, and use on-site dining like Margaritaville Restaurant & Tiki Bar or LandShark Bar & Grill for relaxed, tropical-style meals.

Rooms for couples: what to pick
For more space and a separate sitting area, the Suite, with Sofa bed (1 King Bed and 1 Double Sofa Bed) is the clearest choice — it gives a living area you can use for breakfast in bed or late-night city views.
If you prefer a high-floor room with a king bed and skyline views, choose Premium Room, 1 King Bed (Floors 24th-28th). Both room types include the standard in-room amenities described by the resort; the Premium Room sits on higher floors than Deluxe and Standard rooms.
- Suite, with Sofa bed — living area + king bed; good for couples who want separate lounge space
- Premium Room, 1 King Bed — higher-floor king rooms with city views
- Deluxe Room, 1 King Bed or Standard Room options if you want lower-floor or budget choices
| Room type | Bed setup | Why couples like it |
|---|---|---|
| Suite, with Sofa bed | 1 King Bed and 1 Double Sofa Bed | Separate living area for privacy and relaxing with skyline views |
| Premium Room, 1 King Bed | 1 King Bed (also available as 1 Queen Bed or 2 Double Beds on request) | Higher-floor city views (Floors 24–28) and king bed comfort |
| Deluxe Room, 1 King Bed | 1 King Bed (also available other bed types) | Mid-floor option with similar amenities at a different price point |
Rooftop pool, sunset swims and private cabanas
The resort offers a heated rooftop pool on the 6th floor that operates year-round with seasonal hours (warmer months 8:00 AM–8:00 PM; colder months 10:00 AM–4:30 PM). A lifeguard is on duty daily and private cabanas are available.
Pool access is a resort benefit tied to being a hotel guest; limited day passes and cabana rentals may be available for non-guests on select dates. Poolside food and drinks come from LandShark Bar & Grill, which serves poolside ordering.
